Chateau la Roque de By 37.5cl
37.5cl
The wines of La Roque de By owe their reputation to the pronounced terroir of the Médoc around Bégadan. The unique conditions here create a wine with a deep color and soft, ripe tannin and yet with a powerful full taste with a lot of finesse and length. Beautiful purple in colour, a little lighter-bodied than La Tour de By.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Powerful fruit concentration on the nose with hints of garrigue and chocolate mint |
Palate | The palate is medium bodied with plenty of fruit character carrying on from the nose. Ripe tannins and natural acidity give the wine balance. The length is good with a fruity and mineral finish. |
