Château Roquegrave
Cru Bourgeois Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2019 vintage. Contrary to common belief, Bordeaux offers many incredible value wines. This is a new discovery from the northern Médoc, recommended by the maître de chai from a very famous Cru Classé (I plead guilty for never having driven further north than Saint-Estèphe yet). Had an extensive tasting with owner and winemaker Pierre-Yves Joannon, and he is one of the most amazing wine producers I have met in Bordeaux. He has incredible stories about every wine, innovative design, and makes both innovative and more classic Médoc wines that sell for a song. This Roquegrave delivers a lot of pleasure for little money. ABC. 13,5%

As expected for a 2018 Medoc cru bourgeois.
A bit rough, but acceptable with protein rich and fatty foods.

Needs a few minutes to breathe but then great. Black cherry goodness!

This is a very standard wine. Not much to talk about here, frankly it kind of gave me a headache. I won't be back for more.

Fairly run of the mill Bordeaux even though it’s Cru Bourgeois (lowest category of it). From the north left bank, and a challenging vintage at that. Was served rather cold and did not open up until later but typical dark fruits and good tannins.

Grilled meat, pan drippings, mushrooms on the nose. Deep flavor, very savory. Meaty, Leather, cigar, plum notes, some spices, and the slight bitterness of some green bell pepper. Although big on flavor, the finish isn't long at all.
