Ch. La Rocaille Graves, Bordeaux 2015
Pomerol, along with Graves, are my favourite wine regions of Bordeaux. When fully mature, Graves possesses as a unique burnt smoke flavour – akin to what I call tarbacco. Château La Rocaille has been in the Lamaison family for four generations, who have made their name both with wine-making and training racehorses. There is a liveliness and uplifting freshness, helped no doubt by the glorious nature of the 2015 vintage. This wine will last for a few more years but begs to be drunk now with any red or white meats.
