Domaine Grand Duc De Roquefort

Château Armens

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

2012 vintage. Alexandre de Malet Roquefort (owner of Premier Grand Cru Classé La Gaffelière, Chapelle d'Aliénor Bordeaux Supérieur and co-owner of the tiny Pomerol estate La Connivence) bought this estate in 1999. In my experience his wines are very reliable and classic, elegant and never overextracted. This medium-bodied Saint-Emilion (90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a solid effort for the vintage (that generally fared much better for Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon). Strawberry fruit and very subtle oak, freshness and balance. Drinking well now, but I feel there is more room for improvement. A nice wine nearing maturity. The only "problem" is that for the price (21,9 euro) you can buy the delicious 2015 second wine of La Gaffelière. — 4 years ago

Les Terres Roses Bouzy Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne Blend

A rosé that is made mostly with Chardonnay, pale pink color, smells of both Roquefort and hard aged cheese, strawberry and cotton candy, nice mousse with good acidity, tastes of yeast, Fino Sherry, bitter lemon, lime zest, mineral and green olive, smooth finish with complex finish, a bitter undertone aftertaste. — 7 years ago

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Was absolutely amazing. Depth yes, but fine and mineraly. Had it at the end of the meal at Pascals, with a roquefort cheese drizzled with honey. — 7 years ago

Château La Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

2018 vintage. Celebrating the 60th vintage of the de Malet Roquefort family, the label is a copy of the 1959 label. A blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Franc. A bit shy at first, give it some time to open up and get rewarded with complex aromatics combining red and black fruits, flowers, spices and cigar box. Concentrated, with a tight tannic structure and fresh acidity. It's not a very flashy wine, but a very classic aristocratic wine build to age gracefully for decades. Wait at least 10 years to see a glimpse of the true potential of this beauty. Will merit a higher score in the future I am sure. Still reasonably priced for a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Abv. 14,5 % — 2 years ago
