Chateau Le Rey Les Rocheuses 2022

From the impressive limestone slopes of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, the 2022 Château Le Rey Les Rocheuses is a bold, sophisticated Bordeaux that delivers remarkable intensity without sacrificing finesse. Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, Les Rocheuses takes full advantage of the exceptional 2022 vintage, offering an intensely aromatic profile of crushed blackberries, ripe black cherries, and cassis, intertwined with hints of graphite, licorice, and exotic spice. Full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, the wine displays a luxurious texture, firm yet polished tannins, and a distinctive chalky minerality that adds freshness and definition to its powerful fruit character. The finish is impressively persistent, revealing layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and subtle oak. Produced in extremely limited quantities of approximately 8,000 bottles and awarded 93 points by Jeb Dunnuck, this is a serious, cellar-worthy Bordeaux that rivals wines from far more expensive appellations. Kosher for Passover and Non-Mevushal, Les Rocheuses is particularly well suited to richly flavored dishes such as slow-roasted beef, braised lamb shanks, or a perfectly grilled ribeye.
