Chateau Roc de Levraut Bordeaux Superieur 2018
We believe this wine to be a rare diamond from Bordeaux as it is well presented, tastes exceptional and is at a very reasonable price point! 2015 was also a great year for Bordeaux. Chateau Roc de Levraut has been run by the same family for 3 generations. Their focus is on producing high quality, very low yields of grapes, giving utmost respect to the vineyard and wines. Special cultivation methods are used that protect the environment and enhance natural competition amongst the vines.
