Viniou Reviews

Wine Description and Region

The 1989 Château La Rousselière Cuvée from Saint-Estèphe is a red wine hailing from the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. Known for its structured and robust wines, Saint-Estèphe benefits from a unique terroir composed of gravelly soils that contribute to the wine's complexity and ageing potential. The 1989 vintage is considered exceptional, offering a harmonious blend of ripe fruit flavours with a touch of minerality. Historically, Château La Rousselière has been esteemed for its traditional vinification methods, preserving the authentic character and depth typical of the region. The climatic conditions, with their balanced influence of the Atlantic, ensure a slow and steady grape ripening, enhancing the wine's elegance.

Food Pairing Suggestions

To fully appreciate the flavours of this distinguished Saint-Estèphe, consider pairing it with hearty dishes that complement its rich profile. Roasted lamb with herbs or a classic beef Wellington can create an exquisite balance with the wine's tannins and fruitiness. Alternatively, regional dishes such as pot-au-feu or a duck confit offer a delightful synergy, enhancing both the culinary and sensory experience.

Tasting Advice

To enjoy this wine at its best, serve it at a temperature of about 16-18°C. Decanting for around 1-2 hours before serving allows the wine to open up and soften, revealing its nuanced bouquet. During tasting, observe the wine's deep colour, take in the complex aromas that may include notes of dark fruit, cedar, and spice, and finally, savour the evolved palate that reflects its ageing while retaining a vibrant finish.
