Welcome to Château Roquegrave – a family owned estate comprising 30 hectares of vineyards planted on a high plateau with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary. With an average age of 25 years, the vines are carefully tended by winemaker and owner Pierre Yves Joannon. 2017 was no dream year for Bordeaux, as many vineyards suffered from devastating April frosts. However, although these severely diminished yields, it didn't affect the quality at all, merely concentrating the smaller amount that was produced. So look forward to a rich, complex, nuanced claret, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a splash of Cabernet Franc, all aged in fine French oak. A supple claret, worthy of its acclaim. Ideal with game and roast meats.
