Château de Rochemorin belonged to the great philosopher and writer Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, in the 18th century. Among other famous works, he was the author of the "Persian Letters". Montesquieu was a fine ambassador for the red wines of Rochemorin among his friends, acquaintances and the notables he met during his trips throughout Europe, never forgetting to praise the beautiful complexity and mineral characteristics of his wine, so typical of the Graves terroir. Its beautiful aromatic expression, accompanied by a well-balanced and elegant palate make this one of the most reliable wines in the appellation, while remaining very affordable.
Rich and Powerful
Cabernet Sauvignon 60% / Merlot 40%.
The weather was ideal in 2005 and produced a superb vintage in Bordeaux. It was exceptionally dry for the region from winter to autumn. Sunshine was substantial starting in late spring. Summer temperatures were high, but there was nothing approaching a heat wave.
Deep bordeaux colour, a few brick highlights.
Berry, cherry, cassis nose, with tobacco, toasty, woodsmoke and spices.
Opulent, generous upfront, melting, elegant tannins. Complex and structured. Lots of fruit, with hints of leather. Characteristic Rochemorin. This is the first vintage vinified in the new cellars, and the first to benefit from the "tribaie" sorting machine. Already mature, drinking well now but will last at least ten more years. Perfect with a variety of dishes, in particular country-roast pork.

Sweet vanilla and ripe fruit. Leafy freshness then rich and full palate. Oak still dominant and some heat on the finish. From 2011 - 2018.
Remarkable vintage, plethora of young, lively fruit over a well-structured palate. Voluptuous, very attractive. (Janine Saine)
Aromas of blackberry, tobacco and coffee fallow through to a full body, with soft, round tannins and a chocolate, berry and smoke aftertaste.
Very pretty berry and spice character, with Indian spice undertones. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a medium fruity finish. Best red ever from here? (James Suckling)
