Château Rocher Bellevue
Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes de Castillon, Bordeaux, France
2017 vintage. The Côtes de Bordeaux is a fantastic playground for value seekers and this Castillon is no exception. To be honest I feel sorry for owner Patricia Aroldi that she has to sell a biodynamical wine of this quality at such a low price (4,95 euro consumer price, I kid you not!). A blend of 86% merlot and 14% cabernet franc. Bright red fruit and flowers in the nose. Good fruit concentration and ripe tannin structure with vibrant acidity and more than decent length. Very easy to drink now, but this should age well for a few years. Highly recommended. Abv. 13%. Vignobles Gabriel & co.

Superb surprise for a wine paid about € 6 in a Carrefour Bio. It is balanced, fresh, putting the fruit in the spotlight, with discreet and well-integrated aging. An early Bordeaux wine with a fresh and modern style, the texture is supple and easy to digest. The aromatic nuances are surprisingly rich for this price range. Everyday wine, which will also delight tables with friends. Served at 15 degrees. Bluffing!

Un Bordelais primeur au style frais et moderne, la texture est souple, et digeste. Les nuances aromatiques sont surprenantes de richesse pour cette gamme de prix. Vin de tous les jours, qui ravira également les tablées entre copains. Servi à 15 degrés. Bluffant!
