Château Les Rochers 2018
Bordeaux AOC
Loading...
Smooth, velvety Merlot fruit in this glorious ripe vintage Bordeaux. 2018 was particularly warm, so there’s lovely fruity depth with rounded tannins giving the wine structure. A well balanced claret for drinking now, but there’s no hurry.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
