This Bordeaux wine from Chateau Roc de Segur blends Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Cabernet Franc. Grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks with modern
winemaking techniques include thermoregulation and micro-oxygenation. This creates an easy drinking claret wine that is estate bottled.
Ruby in appearance with bright red cherry aromas in a soft style. The palate shows rich berries, a little green stalk and a hint of black pepper. Supple, silky tannins pair well with gentle spice on the finish. Try with roast duck or game, roasted veg, wild mushrooms or garlic dishes.
Chateau Roc de Ségur has its origins with the Marquis de Ségur, Nicholas Alexandre (1697 – 1755), who was the largest owner of vineyards in Bordeaux earning him the nickname “Prince of Vines” from King Louis XV. Today’s 47 hectare vineyard, planted in 1992, is owned by Gisèle and Daniel Vidal. Situated on a vast limestone plateau overlooking the breath taking Segur Valley in the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, the site was originally a quarry and the winery and cellar are carved into the rock itself.
