Grand Cru Saint-Emilion AOC - Château Rozier

With Château Rozier Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. If you give it some air by swirling it in the glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in the church windows on the glass wall. The nose of this red wine from Bordeaux impresses with aromas of damson, black cherry, blackberry and plum. It is precisely its fruit-driven character that makes this wine so special.

As one would naturally expect from a wine in this price range, this French wine enchants, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. Powerful and complex, this silky and dense red wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to its lively acidity, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru reveals itself on the palate as wonderfully fresh and vibrant. On the finish, this well-ageable red wine from the Bordeaux wine-growing region finally impresses with considerable length. Once again, hints of mulberry and blackcurrant appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by gravel and marl join in.

Vinification of Château Rozier Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The powerful Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from France is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Bordeaux. Here the vines drive their roots deep into soils of sand, limestone, clay, gravel and marl. What is exceptional in the creation of this top wine from Château Rozier is the fact that the grapes in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (FR) grow on stone terraces. This traditional form of vineyard design is unfortunately very labor-intensive and therefore only rarely found today. Naturally, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is also shaped by the climatic and stylistic factors of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This French wine can literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an exceedingly distinguished manner. The ripening of the grapes for this wine from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is influenced to a very high degree by the climate of the growing region. In Bordeaux, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and even clusters and a rather moderate must weight. The grapes for this red wine from France are harvested exclusively by hand once optimal ripeness has been ensured. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally drawn off.
