CHATEAU GRAND ROUSSEAU 2009

Description & Press Reviews:
Wine Style: Dry Red

A charming deep ruby coloured claret which comes from near the bastide town of Sauveterre de Guyenne, 35 km from Saint Emilion.  Chateau Grand Rousseau is one of several chateaux owned by the renowned Lumeau family who have been wine makers for 4 generations, establishing Vignobles Lumeau in 1840.  They combine traditional wine making techniques with modern oenology.  This wine has subtle red fruit flavours with notes of blackcurrant, blueberry, tobacco, earth and vanilla.

This is a round, smooth, well balanced wine with integrated tannins and a classical bouquet.  It will pair well with roast beef and lamb, pork with stuffing, turkey, venison, duck, pigeon, pheasant and hard cheeses.
