Type: Red Wine (Bordeaux Blend / Traditional Bordeaux / Oak-Aged)
Region: Côtes de Bourg, Bordeaux, France
Grapes: 77% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc
Alcohol ABV: 14% (typical for the 2018 vintage)
Aroma:
A classic Right Bank Bordeaux expression with aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherries. The dominant Merlot brings generous fruit and roundness, while Malbec contributes floral notes of violet and spice. Secondary aromas of liquorice, dried herbs, cedar, vanilla, and subtle minerality add complexity from oak ageing.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a rich yet balanced structure. The palate shows flavours of cassis, blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, supported by polished tannins and fresh acidity. Notes of mocha, liquorice, vanilla spice, and graphite develop through the finish, creating a smooth, persistent, and elegant Bordeaux profile.
The grapes are harvested from mature vines averaging around 40–45 years old and grown on limestone and clay soils. Fermentation involves controlled temperature maceration with extended extraction to build colour, fruit concentration, and tannin structure. The wine is aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels, using a combination of new and one-year-old barrels to integrate oak complexity while preserving the fruit character.
Château Rousselle farms around 20 hectares of Côtes de Bourg vineyards on limestone-rich clay soils. The estate practices sustainable vineyard management with controlled grass cover, Guyot pruning, leaf thinning, and green harvesting to regulate yields and improve grape concentration. The vineyards benefit from Bordeaux’s mild maritime climate, allowing slow ripening while maintaining freshness and structure.
