Château Rocheyron 2021

Château Rocheyron 2021 is a finely crafted Bordeaux from Peter Sisseck’s Saint-Émilion project, bringing together Merlot-driven richness and Cabernet Franc precision. It reflects a clear ambition: to capture the finesse, freshness and elegance that make great Bordeaux so distinctive, rather than sheer power. As one of the early vintages from this ambitious estate, it also represents the careful evolution of a once-overlooked vineyard site into a serious fine-wine address.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows impressive aromatic intensity, opening with ripe cherries, blackcurrants and wild strawberries wrapped in rose-petal perfume. With air, it becomes increasingly complex and nuanced, gaining a more lifted, floral expression that gives the nose real charm and depth. On the palate it is fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced, with juicy red and dark berry fruit, fine structure and a supple, polished feel. There is enough concentration to suggest good development in bottle, while its current appeal lies in its fragrance, energy and harmony. With proper cellaring, it should age gracefully over the medium to long term.

Production
Made from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the grapes are vinified in seven cement tanks and three stainless-steel tanks, each sized to suit the estate’s varied soils across just over 8 hectares. The wine is matured for 15 months in barrel, with only 35% new oak in order to preserve fruit purity, and it is bottled without fining or filtration. The estate is in the process of being converted to organic farming, with Peter Sisseck working toward a full expression of the vineyard’s exposure and terroir over time.

Food & Serving
This is a highly versatile Bordeaux that works beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, game birds, mushroom dishes and classic dishes with truffle or herbs de Provence. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant for 1-2 hours before serving to soften the tannins and allow the perfume to open fully.

Producer
Château Rocheyron is the joint venture of Peter Sisseck and Swiss entrepreneur Silvio Denz, combining deep winemaking expertise with a strong commitment to craftsmanship and elegance. Founded in 2009 after the purchase of vineyard land bordering Château Laroque, the estate has quickly become a noteworthy Saint-Émilion project. With Sisseck’s international reputation and Denz’s strong influence in luxury and wine, Rocheyron has positioned itself among the more closely watched modern Bordeaux estates.
