A beautiful wine with finesse and focus. Full and ultra-fine textured with blueberry, tile and clay. Salty and subtle. Very pure. You almost want to drink it now. Clarity.

The 2015 Château Rocheyron, owned by Silvio Denz and Peter Sisseck, is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc cropped at 35 hl/ha between 6-17 October. Matured in 30% new oak, the nose was primal but well defined, very pure with layers of dark cherries and crème de cassis. The palate is smooth on the entry, very fresh and harmonious, and the tannins are fine and supple in the mouth with a fine seam of acidity and a long, caressing finish. The Cabernet Franc works beautifully here, lending complexity and personality. This is a wonderful Saint Emilion that is imbued with Sisseck's craftsmanship.
