RED WINE
CHATEAU COUCHEROY PESSAC LEOGNAN ROGUE
"Couchiroy" or
"Couche Roi" in Gascon. According to legend, one stormy evening, King
Henri IV, returning from the Battle of Coutras, stopped here for a rest. This
red Pessac-Léognan is easy-to-enjoy, smooth and fruity. It nevertheless
displays the elegance and finesse typical of wines from this region of Bordeaux
Graves. Château Coucheroy has classic blackcurrant and smoky aromas reminiscent
of the atmosphere in a gentleman’s club.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: - Lovely, very deep
garnet-red colour.
Nose: - This wine displays
tremendous intensity and complexity on the nose. Swirling in the glass reveals
a delicious array of red fruit, tobacco and vanilla aromas, underpinned by a
touch of spice.
Mouth: - Starts out
straightforward, with a noticeable, yet not excessive, tannic structure. The
wine becomes full-bodied mid-palate, with smooth tannins, culminating in a
wonderfully round finish. Notes of red fruit and liquorice fill the palate,
making for an eminently enjoyable wine. This wonderfully balanced 2018 Couche
Roy will gladly withstand ageing for a few years. The perfect partner for
stuffed tomatoes, Basque-style chicken, or a nice steak.
