Chateau Rocheyron

Château Rocheyron is a red wine coupage made with Merlot and Cabernet Franc and classified as a wine from the AOC Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.

Château Rocheyron is a Bordeaux winery owned and managed by the famous winemaker Peter Sisseck, creator of the legendary Ribera del Duero Pingus, together with Silvio Denz, perfumer, art collector and owner of several wineries.

The Château Rocheyron vines have an average age of about 45 years old, and are between 40 to 80 years old. They are planted on a limestone plateau, about three and a half kilometers from the centre of Saint-Émilion. The total area of the vineyard is 8.45 hectares with an average yield of approximately 20 hectolitres per hectare.

To make Château Rocheyron, the grapes are destemmed and cold macerated. They then ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of around 24ºC. Once vinified, the wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels. 50% of the barrels are renewed annually.

Château Rocheyron is a red wine that offers silky and elegant tannins, great aromatic intensity and a good body, acidity and balance. This is a wine with great ageing potential. Fewer than ten thousand bottles are produced annually.
