Background

The estate is located in the North of the Medoc appellation, at the top of the highest hills surrounding the small village of Valeyrac along the Gironde River.

Château Roquegrave has belonged to the Joannon family since 1965. Nowadays, the fourth generation is managing the estate. The name comes from the soil composition. “Roque” means hard stones and “Gravels” describes specific stones from the Medoc area.

Pierre Yves Joannon has been the wine maker since 2014 he has been collecting rewards and medals (for Roquegrave 2015 and Roquegrave 2014) since then.

Tasting Notes

Very perfumed nose with Morello cherry and spices. In mouth, strong and good attack with a persistent finale. Can be served with Lamb, beef roast, duck, cassoulet, and BBQ.
