title: Château de Rouillac 2013  Pessac-Léognan
description: This wine is coming into balance with wood, acidity and fruit all present. It has a dusty tannic character that's attractive and acts as a good base for the blackberry flavors. The wine will develop quickly, so drink from 2018. Laurent and Sophie Cisneros bought Rouillac with a focus: eliminate chemical pesticides and herbicides. They built a barrel cellar to environmental European standards. The vineyard is 60 acres Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with five acres of white grapes. Eric Boissenot consults.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
