2016 vintage. Château de Rouillac, Pessac-Léognan. A good wine, but there is a little underlying greenness. Therefore, not in the same league as the 2015.

Apr 29th, 2022This estate was bought by Laurent Cisneros in 2010. A blend of 57% cabernet sauvignon and 43% merlot, aged 15 months in barriques (40% new). Very attractive perfume. This medium-bodied, elegant wine is a good example of the 2015 vintage that fared especially well in Pessac-Léognan. Not a powerhouse, but stylish and refined. Hard to resist young, but should age well.

Ruby colour at medium intensity. Charming nose between red fruits, typical ageing: cedar, oak, tobacco, tar, and already a beginning of evolution. Medium body, but concentrated. Dry and mineral character that gives a kick to the whole. Nice general balance.
Robe rubis à l’intensité moyenne. Nez charmeur entre fruits rouges compotés, élevages typique: cèdre, chêne, tabac, goudron, et déjà un début d’évolution. Corps moyen, mais concentré. Caractère sec et minéral qui donne un kick à l’ensemble. Bel équilibre général.

I’m biased because I just love Bordeaux, but man oh man this is good. Aroma is pencil shavings, green pepper, barnyard, and dirt. None of those things sound appealing, but I promise it’s awesome. Medium plus body, bittersweet cocoa, cassis. Love it.
