Château Coucheroy Red

"Couchiroy" or "Couche Roi" in Gascon. According to legend, one stormy evening, King Henri IV, returning from the Battle of Coutras, stopped here for a rest. This red Pessac-Léognan is easy-to-enjoy, smooth and fruity. It nevertheless displays the elegance and finesse typical of wines from this region of Bordeaux Graves. Château Coucheroy has classic blackcurrant and smoky aromas reminiscent of the atmosphere in a gentleman’s club...

Tasting Comment

Appearance

Brilliant and very elegant cherry-red colour.

Nose

This 2017 Château Coucheroy is particularly enjoyable, offering an attractive fruitiness and subtle oaky aromas.

Mouth

Well-balanced and refined on the palate, it is emblematic of the modern wines produced in Pessac-Léognan. The delicate, well-integrated tannin means that it is a joy to drink, even when young. This wine goes beautifully with pot-roasted guinea fowl, duck à l'orange, and Camembert.
