Château Rocheyron 2015 Magnum

Château Rocheyron 2015 Magnum is a refined Saint-Émilion Grand Cru that shows the depth and harmony Bordeaux lovers look for in a serious right-bank wine. Crafted mainly from Merlot with a smaller share of Cabernet Franc, it combines old-vine concentration, careful low-yield farming, and the slower evolution of magnum format. Led by Peter Sisseck, the estate reflects a thoughtful, classically inspired approach rooted in Bordeaux tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, dark color that hints at its concentration and ripeness. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with mature red and black berries, dried herbs, spices, and subtle oak notes. On the palate, it is balanced and structured, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, elegant finish. The 2015 vintage brings generous fruit maturity and a naturally harmonious frame, giving the wine both immediate appeal and strong cellaring potential. In magnum, it should develop especially gracefully, gaining complexity over many years while keeping its freshness and balance.

Production
The wine comes from Saint-Émilion Grand Cru vineyards planted on limestone and clay soils, a terroir well suited to Merlot’s depth and Cabernet Franc’s aromatic lift. Grapes are hand-harvested from old vines and selected for low yields, helping to preserve concentration and precision. Fermentation takes place in concrete and stainless-steel tanks, followed by 15 to 18 months of aging in French oak barrels, with only a limited proportion of new oak to maintain the wine’s balance and sense of place.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for rich meat dishes such as roast beef, lamb, venison, or braised short ribs, as well as mature cheeses with character. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended, especially if opened young, to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic complexity.
