Château Roudier
Montagne-Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Montagne-St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Surprised to see such low ratings for this wine. I find it balanced, opening up quickly and very approachable. Certainly not a Grand Cru but a nice table wine.

Nov 25th, 2019Day 1, this is pretty green and savory- showing its cab franc with aromas of bell pepper and tomato. This subsides eventually to reveal some nice ripe cherry and plum, with good savory mineral notes. Great acidity and smooth tannins are in great balance. By day two everything is working together and this is drinking really nicely. Drinkable and balanced, I'm loving it for the price.

After drinking a lot of Bordeaux merlot, this montagne saint émilion is just perfect! One of the cheaper wine at trader joe, around 12$. Definitely a good value for the bucks!!!

Ruby in color with a light burgundy/ brick rim.
Light nose of blueberries, cherries, red currants, earth, wet rocks, mint, tobacco, vegetables, wood and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, blueberries, cranberries, oak, earth, bitter herbs, spices, vegetables, pencil lead and black pepper.
Medium finish with round tannins and spices.
This a very easy drinking red wine from Saint Émilon. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food.
Tangy and spicy, simple and earthy. This was a great vintage in Bordeaux, and this wine comes at a great price.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (1 hour). Tannins come in after 90 minutes in a decanter.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

2001 right on the money. Some fresh fruit still present and also some classic aged bordeaux profile. Really nice balance and a drinking sweet spot.
