“WOW,” exclaimed veteran French winemaker Julien Miquel, “this takes me back.” Julien spent years working in Bordeaux. For him, this bottle of St-Emilion (“Grand Cru” – the best of the estate) felt like a homecoming. With deep notes of violet and cherry offset by a dash of cacao and spice. Château Rozier is that rare balance between finesse and opulence. Why people love Bordeaux: Exhibit A. Buy enough to cellar a few bottles. In 5 years you won’t regret it.
