Château R's 1984 Saint-Estèphe promises elegance and complexity. Located in Bordeaux's esteemed Médoc region, Saint-Estèphe is renowned for its robust and age-worthy wines. The 1984 vintage, although challenging, presents surprises in longevity and character, with possible blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot dominating the palette. The gravelly, clay soils and temperate maritime climate contribute to the wine's powerful structure and earthy fragrances. Though specifics on Château La Rousselière are sparse, vineyards in this area boast a history of traditional winemaking and esteemed reputation, enhancing the wine's pedigree.
Pairing this red wine with rich dishes will celebrate its depth. Consider a classic roasted lamb with herbs, which complements the wine's hearty profile. Alternatively, try duck confit for a regional pairing; its richness parallels the wine's structure. For a delightful cheese course, a selection of aged hard cheeses like Comté or Gruyère would enhance its nuanced flavours.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at around 16-18°C. Decanting for at least an hour will allow its matured aromas to unfurl, revealing layers of cedar and dark fruit. Begin your tasting by appreciating its deep ruby hue, followed by inhaling its aroma—expect to encounter scents of plum, leather, and subtle spices. Upon tasting, note the harmony of tannins and acidity, offering a lingering finish.
