  • Goedhuis, April 2023

    This estate is a 3ha jewel in St Emilion, surrounded by famous names such as Tertre Roteboeuf, Troplong Mondot and La Mondotte. So full of savoury rich merlot fruit, flavours of Christmas cake and nutmeg, the tannins have a fine leathery texture and the finish expresses both depth and sweetness of fruit.

  • Jeb Dunnuck, February 2019, Score: 92

    A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Château Rochebelle is a beautiful wine that has tons of upfront, ripe, sexy fruit paired with rock-solid depth and structure. Blackcurrants, smoke tobacco, loads of spice, and hints of chocolate all emerge from this beauty. It's a pleasure-bent, balanced 2016 that will keep for 15 years or more. Drink 2019-2034.

  • Jane Anson, June 2021, Score: 94

    The concentration of the 2016 vintage is evident, giving a graphite, gunsmoke edge to the black cherry and cassis fruits. Still closed and a little austere but there is so much tension and precision running right through the fruit, giving a hint of what will happen after a few more years in bottle. The texture deepens and widens after half an hour in the glass, and this is exceptional quality. 70% new oak. Drink 2024-2042.

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
