Chateau La Roque de By
75cl
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. |
