Château de Rochemorin
Pessac-Léognan Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Deep yellow in colour, the 2014 Château Rochemorin from Pessac-Léognan sports a rich and honeyed nose with lime pickle, confit apple and the same aromas of French oak that you may find in the red wines of the region. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, on the palate, it’s lush, ripe and has a richness reminiscent of a white Rioja. Ultimately, it punches well above its weight - Rochemorin is an unclassified estate belonging to the André Lurton stable of La Louviere, and this bottle was around £15. At six years the wine is singing, but I’d actually love to try it after a few more years still of bottle age. I’m still a newbie to the whites of Bordeaux (much less so the reds...) so this is quite unlike any Sauv. B. I’ve tasted before.

Great yellow colour, and rich grapefruit aromas. Underwhelming fruit flavours in the mouth but with good length. Subtle and sophisticated, but needs the right pairing. Not a great match with chicken pie, with spring vegetables. Would have been better with simple grilled fish or prawns.
Maybe a bit expensive at £15

Very elegant bouquet of passion fruit, lychee, mango, citrus, and smoke. Oak is very elegantly integrated. lots of tropical fruit on the palate with crisp acidity, depth, and a zesty and bitter finish. Very Nice! Very Classical!

Green-tinged straw color, nose of peaches and pears, body a little tart revealing the acidity of a good food wine but opens to lime and peach with some odd notes that round into a mouth-filling finish

Nice clean bouquet on the nose; light start with a sharp, distinguished finish. Light green apple notes with an toasty/liquorish finish
