Description

Magnum Château des Rochers 1998 – Côtes de Castillon

This Magnum of Château des Rochers 1998, from the Côtes de Castillon appellation, beautifully showcases the richness and finesse of Bordeaux’s right-bank terroir. Located near Saint-Émilion, the estate benefits from deep, well-drained clay-limestone soils that perfectly nurture Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the region’s signature grape varieties.

The 1998 vintage is regarded as a benchmark year for Bordeaux, especially on the right bank. This wine reflects that excellence with its harmonious structure and impressive aromatic depth. The bouquet reveals layers of ripe red fruits, black cherry, and plum, accented by hints of vanilla, licorice, and forest floor. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with well-integrated tannins leading to a long, flavorful finish.

Aged gracefully in its magnum format, this Château des Rochers 1998 now displays the full maturity and complexity of a truly great vintage. It is a superb expression of 1998, offering elegance, balance, and refined power, true to the spirit of the finest Castillon wines.
