Notes presse & récompenses
The Wine Cellar Insider
90/100
Chocolate covered, plums, cherries, espresso and herbs pop easily on the nose and palate. Soft, round, polished and loaded with sweet, black cherries, the wine finishes with vibrant red fruits and cocoa. You can enjoy this on release and for at least 12 or more years.
James Suckling
92/100
A balanced, juicy red with purple fruit and lavender. It’s medium-bodied with integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Precise.
Yves Beck - Beckustator
92/100
Roc de Calon is subtle and filigree. Notes of morello cherry and blackberry are followed by a touch of thyme and chalky nuances. Similar character on the palate, where the wine seems like clockwork: everything is in place and precise. The tannins are fine and reach their fullness on the finish, while the acid structure is temperamental. An excellent wine with great prospects. Just give it time to express itself!
INFOS

The vintage
The 2019 vintage follows in the footsteps of recent great Bordeaux vintages. The winter was surprisingly mild, followed by a rather cool spring. Summer was hot, but the rain came at just the right time on several occasions: in July and August, then a few showers in early September. These rains were a lifesaver, keeping the grapes fresh and energized before harvest.
