Château de Rochemorin, Pessac-Léognan 2022 White

Château de Rochemorin Blanc 2022 is an elegant white wine from Pessac-Léognan, a Bordeaux appellation celebrated for producing refined, mineral-driven whites. Made at a historic estate associated with the philosopher Montesquieu, it combines expressive exotic fruit with creamy texture and subtle brioche notes from oak ageing.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a pale yellow colour with attractive green reflections. Its expressive bouquet opens with aromas of exotic fruit and white-fleshed fruit, complemented by delicate brioche nuances from time in wooden barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied, round and creamy, with a harmonious balance and pronounced freshness. Exotic fruit returns in the flavour profile, giving the wine both richness and energy. It is enjoyable now, while its structure and freshness should allow it to develop gracefully over the next few years when properly stored.

Production
Château de Rochemorin is situated on one of the highest hilltops in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, in the commune of Martillac. The estate is known for its diversity of terroirs and soil types, which contribute to the mineral character and expressive style of its white wines. The 2022 vintage shows the estate’s fruit-forward character alongside the creamy, brioche-like complexity imparted by ageing in wooden barrels. Specific grape varieties and harvesting details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. This wine is a natural match for grilled fish with citrus, roast chicken with cream and mushrooms, and soft-ripened cheeses with bloomy rinds such as Brie or Camembert. Decanting is not essential, but allowing the wine to breathe in the glass for 10–15 minutes can help reveal its fruit and oak nuances.
