Chateau de Rochemorin 2009 Pessac-Leognan |
 |
Andre Lurton is owner of several fine properties in Bordeaux including the popular Chateau Bonnet and the esteemed Chateau Louviere in Pessac-Leognan. This Chateau is not far from Louviere and has over 200 acres of red grapes planted in the deep gravelly soils. The vines average a mature 15-18 years of age and are densely planted to lower yields and bring out the intense flavors that are on display in this rich 2009. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aged in French oak for 12 months. Wine Spectator scored it 90 points saying "This has gutsy, briary edges, offering lots of spice, mulled currant and fig fruit, with tangy, vibrant iron and juniper notes rippling through the finish. Rock-solid. Drink now through 2018." A winning 2009 at a great price!
