Allaman Grand Cru - The time it takes - Château Rochefort 2022

Features :
This Grand Cru from Allaman embodies an elegant and refined vision of Vaud Merlot. The color is deep, a clear garnet red. The nose immediately charms with generous aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, licorice, and blond tobacco, enhanced by a touch of cocoa. On the palate, the texture is ample and velvety, supported by round, well-integrated tannins. The balance between aromatic richness and mineral freshness is perfect, leading to a long and warm finish.

Food and Wine Pairings:
An ideal wine to accompany a grilled ribeye steak, duck breast, porcini mushroom risotto, or a mature cheese such as Gruyère Réserve. It also pairs superbly with slow-cooked dishes, like osso buco or a Provençal daube.

The Estate:
Château Rochefort, a wine estate owned by the City of Lausanne, is located in the heart of the Vaud Riviera, overlooking Lake Geneva. Here, the vines are cultivated with patience and precision. The "Le Temps qu'il faut" cuvée reflects this philosophy: giving the grapes, the winemaking process, and the people involved the necessary time to create an authentic, expressive wine deeply rooted in its terroir.
