Domaine du Rochouard - Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil - 2024

Superb red Bergerac from the Julien Auroux estate, with fruity and spicy notes in this vintage, a juicy and supple wine with lovely complexity!

RVF : 93/100

The domaine Les Genestas produces a magnificent Côtes du Rhône Villages Sinargues, made from syrah and grenache. The wine is soft, gourmand, resting on discreet tannins. The alcohol is well integrated into the wine and does not stand out during tasting. Good value for money.

Canaille du Clos Roussely is a pretty Touraine wine. The nose develops on notes of red fruit and pepper. The palate has superb, very silky substance, developing on notes of small strawberries, raspberry; the wine benefits from a lovely overall freshness; A very fine success to be drunk over 2-3 years.

La cuvée Vieilles Vignes du Clos des Quarterons is a beautifully rich Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil. After 1 to 3 hours decanting, this cuvée reveals candied cherry and prune notes. Good length for this cuvée, which can be enjoyed with white meat or a fine cheese.

This Saint-Nicolas Bourgueil is a very rich wine.

The Croisée du domaine de la Cotelleraie is a full-bodied, gourmand, fleshy organic wine, with present but pleasant tannins. At last, a Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil with substance, body and fruit. Good cellaring capacity for this bottle, which we recommend drinking after 3 or 4 years of cellaring.
