Château Rouchereau Bordeaux Supérieur 2019 — 750ml | 14% ABV
A Classic Expression of Right Bank Heritage Château Rouchereau 2019 is an elegant Bordeaux Supérieur produced from a traditional blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. As a "Bordeaux Supérieur," this wine is held to more rigorous production standards than standard regional AOCs, including lower vineyard yields and a longer maturation period. The 2019 vintage is widely recognized for its exceptional concentration and balanced acidity, resulting from an ideal growing season in the Gironde region.
Craftsmanship and Terroir The estate utilizes sustainable viticulture practices on clay-limestone soils, which impart a distinct mineral structure to the Merlot-dominant blend. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled vats and aged to develop a refined tannic structure. It is a versatile, food-friendly Bordeaux that pairs exceptionally well with roasted red meats, aged cheeses, or hearty mushroom-based dishes.
