Tasting Comment (Red)
--------------------------------
Appearance: Charles de Montesquieu made wine at Rochemorin, but we have no way of
knowing if it was as deeply-coloured as this 2010's brilliant garnet-red hue.
Nose : There are morello cherry and redcurrant nuances on the nose and the wine
is well-focused and attractive on the palate. The oak is definitely understated and harmonious.
Mouth : The flavour starts out very smooth and goes on to show a rich mouth feel with soft tannin. 2010 Rochemorin deserves to age for several years to become more complex and tasty, at which point it will make a wonderful partner to guinea fowl or a game stew.

Tasting Comment (White)
----------------------------------
Appearance : Clear, bright.
Nose : Rochemorin certainly warrants its rank among the top Pessac-Léognans, here showing its pedigree from the first wafts of ripe peach and nectarine on the nose, along with smoky, toasty notes.
Mouth : The palate is admirably balanced, crafted by a winemaker whose skill has melded remarkable richness with lingering freshness, instantly pleasurable. May be drunk young, but can also be laid down for 7 or 8 years before enjoying with shellfish, panfried cèpes with lemon, or poultry.
