Chateau Saint Roch 'Chimeres' Côtes du Roussillon 2013 (France)
Accolades
Awarded 93/100 Points
Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
Description
The wines are jaw-dropping good. In addition, they're ridiculously under-priced given their quality. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
The 2013 Cotes du Roussillon Chimeres is just another example of the brilliance of the 2013 vintage in the Roussillon. Coming all from the schist soils of Maury and a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Carignan that spent 8-12 months in 500-liter barrels and concrete, it possesses a deep purple color to go with savory notes of kirsch and assorted darker berry fruits, pepper, truffle and damp earth. Full-bodied, thrillingly textured and with incredible purity of fruit, this knockout effort stays lively and elegant, with fine tannin, terrific length and no hard edges. It will knock your socks off over the coming 4-6 years.- 93 Points. The Wine Advocate
These are brilliant new releases from Chateau Saint Roch, which was recently purchased by Jean-Marc Lafage (and is a joint venture with importer Eric Solomon). Located in the Cabirou region of Maury, in the Roussillon, which was famous for making fortified wines in the past, it consists of mostly schist and granite soils, and has a slew of old-vine Carignan and Grenache. The wines are jaw-dropping good. In addition, they're ridiculously under-priced given their quality.Ch Saint Roch 'Chimeres' Côtes du Roussillon 2013
