Château Roquegrave 2018

Welcome to Château Roquegrave – a family owned estate comprising 30 hectares of vineyards planted on a high plateau with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary. With an average age of 25 years, the vines are carefully tended by winemaker and owner Pierre Yves Joannon. 2018 was no dream year for Bordeaux, as many vineyards were caught out by the humid conditions of spring. Low yields and great summer weather right through to harvest, however, has ensured exceptional quality – "legends in the making" wrote RobertParker.com. So look forward to a rich, complex claret, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a splash of Petit Verdot, all aged in fine French oak. A supple Bordeaux, worthy of its acclaim. Ideal with game and roast meats.
