Viniou Reviews

The Château La Rousselière 1985 from Saint-Estèphe, Médoc, is a distinguished red wine reflecting the prestigious Bordeaux region. Saint-Estèphe is known for producing robust, full-bodied wines with a significant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1985 vintage benefits from a matured complexity, showcasing earthy notes with a blend of dark fruits and a hint of spice. Médoc's unique terroir, with gravelly soils and a temperate maritime climate, imparts a distinct minerality and structure to the wine. The history and reputation of Château R are steeped in traditional viticulture, emphasizing meticulous techniques that capture the essence of its noble appellation.

For a delightful culinary pairing, consider classic dishes like beef Wellington or roast lamb, which beautifully complement the wine's robust character. The wine's intensity is further enhanced by regional dishes such as duck confit or a hearty cassoulet, whose rich flavours marry well with the wine's aged tannins and fruitiness, creating a harmonious dining experience.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decant for about an hour to allow the complex aromas to unfold. Begin by observing its deep ruby hue, a testament to its age and quality. Swirl gently and take in the evolved aromas of cedar, leather, and mature blackcurrant. On the palate, savour the balanced acidity and the lingering finish, marking it as a quintessential representative of its terroir.
