Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec
Localization: Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France
Tasting Notes: Beautiful precision for a nose of sincere, expressive fruit, with aromas held together by a balanced touch of wood. The attack is velvety, the beautiful structure presents fine and concentrated tannins. The wine has a vigorous personality and commendable power. Excellent quality/price/pleasure ratio.
The Domain: Château Roque Le Mayne has been in the Meynard family for three generations. The property is on the gently rolling hills of Castillon, a “satellite” of Saint-Emilion. Jean-François Meynard is the current proprietor, managing his 14 hectares within “lutte raisonée,” and harvesting manually with (some would say) obsessive sorting when the fruit arrives at the winery. The vines grow on the clay-limestone plateau above the right bank of the Dordogne, on the same ridge, and only a few kilometers away from vineyards that produce the most expensive wines in Saint-Émilion.
