WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Saint-Roch Chimères is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Jean-Marc Lafage. This wine comes from the Côtes du Roussillon appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes, with soils rich in schist and limestone, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan grapes, which are carefully selected and aged in oak barrels to create a rich and complex flavor profile. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and flavorful wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Château Saint-Roch Chimères is a robust and complex red blend from France's Languedoc-Roussillon region.On the nose, it presents aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and plum with a hint of baking spices and an earthy mineral character. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins, bright acidity, and a long, silky finish. The wine is well-structured, with layers of dark fruit, hints of oak, and a velvety texture. Enjoy with braised meats and hard cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Château Saint-Roch

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
