Château Rozier Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Color: Deep purple-red with dark violet highlights. Aroma: Seductive bouquet of sweet, ripe berries, plums, and delicate licorice. Taste: Soft and powerful with abundant aromatic richness, fruit, and freshness on the palate; fleshy, full-bodied, with excellent structure from the tightly woven yet silky tannins; a wine full of elegance and finesse right through to the long, lingering finish. At Château Rozier, the harvest begins on September 18th with the Merlot grapes and ends on September 29th with the Cabernet Franc. All grapes are harvested by hand into small baskets and fermented using traditional methods. The wine matures for approximately 15 months in oak barrels, one-third new, one-third one-year-old, and one-third two-year-old. Concours de Bordeaux 2012: Gold Medal
