2019 vintage. Contrary to common belief, Bordeaux offers many incredible value wines. This is a new discovery from the northern Médoc, recommended by the maître de chai from a very famous Cru Classé (I plead guilty for never having driven further north than Saint-Estèphe yet). Had an extensive tasting with owner and winemaker Pierre-Yves Joannon, and he is one of the most amazing wine producers I have met in Bordeaux. He has incredible stories about every wine, innovative design, and makes both innovative and more classic Médoc wines that sell for a song. This Roquegrave delivers a lot of pleasure for little money. ABC. 13,5% — 9 months ago
