Note di degustazione
Bottled in September 2024, the 2022 Rochebelle offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries and creamy oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered palate that's rich but also a touch austere. It remains a strong effort, but it would appear to have lost a touch of flesh during élevage.

From an incredible terroir not far from Tertre Roteboeuf, the 2022 Château Rochebelle reveals a vivid purple hue as well as classic Saint-Emilion aromatics of ripe black cherries, chocolaty herbs, tobacco, and crushed stone. These all carry to a full-bodied, richly concentrated 2022 with plenty of opulence and power that’s perfectly balanced by fine tannins, incredible purity of fruit, and a beautiful sense of freshness and elegance. This complete, layered 2022 brings everything you could want from this vintage. Give bottles 4-5 years if you can and enjoy over the following 20-25 years.
Ruby red, this is intense but the limestone fingerprint is lightening the colour a little compared to some. Moriesh with a salty lick from the first moment, this is a delicious wine that gets the balance exactly right between intense ripe black fruits and juicy measured acidity. No question that we are in a ripe vintage with spice and cut herbs, but this extends outwards through the palate, and is just extremely enjoyable, even now as an En Primeur sample, but with enough tannic architecture to trust its ageing ability. Lovely from owner and winemaker Emilie Faniest. A buy.
