Viniou Reviews

The 1986 Château La Rousselière Cuvée from Saint-Estèphe is a distinguished Bordeaux wine known for its robust character and complexity. Saint-Estèphe, a sub-region within Médoc, is celebrated for producing full-bodied reds with excellent ageing potential. The blend typically consists of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, providing a solid structure with rich fruit and earthy notes. This particular vintage is renowned for its firmness and elegance, benefiting from the region's unique gravelly soil and temperate maritime climate. Although not classified in a specific tier, the estate of Château La Rousselière has a reputation for quality and tradition, contributing to Bordeaux's prestigious wine legacy.

When pairing food with this Saint-Estèphe, consider dishes that complement its strong tannins and deep flavours. Classic pairings include roast lamb or beef, which balance the wine's robust profile. Additionally, traditional regional dishes like duck confit or a rich beef bourguignon can enhance the wine's complexity. For a cheese pairing, opt for matured options like Comté or aged cheddar to match the wine's depth and nuances.

To fully appreciate this 1986 vintage, serve it at around 18°C (64°F) after about an hour of decanting to allow the wine to breathe and open up its intricate aromas. Begin by observing its deep garnet colour, indicating maturity. On the nose, expect a bouquet of dark fruits, tobacco, and subtle earthy undertones, showcasing its terroir. On the palate, savour the harmonious blend of fruit, tannin, and oak, appreciating its long and elegant finish.
