Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry are layered with violet, cedar, and subtle earthy notes. The palate offers generous dark fruit complemented by hints of cocoa, tobacco, and savory spice. Medium to full-bodied, the wine displays supple, finely textured tannins and balanced acidity. Merlot provides a plush, rounded mouthfeel while Cabernet Franc contributes freshness and structure. The finish is persistent and savory with lingering plum, dark chocolate, and earthy notes.

Merlot-dominant Bordeaux grape blend.

 

The Estate

Château Rocher Bonregard is a small estate situated in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, an appellation internationally renowned for its Merlot-dominant red wines. The property follows the traditional estate model of the region, producing wine from its own vineyard holdings with an emphasis on expressing Pomerol’s distinctive terroir. Its style combines the richness and supple texture associated with Merlot with the structure and aromatic complexity contributed by Cabernet Franc.

Winemaking

Fruit is harvested from estate vineyards within the Pomerol appellation, where Merlot thrives in the region’s clay- and gravel-influenced soils. Traditional vinification emphasizes careful extraction to develop structure while retaining the wine’s supple fruit character. Maturation in oak adds complexity, texture, and subtle spice before bottling. The resulting style emphasizes Pomerol’s characteristic combination of richness, elegance, and age-worthy structure.

Food Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or braised short ribs. It is also an excellent match for mushroom dishes, truffle preparations, and mature cheeses, all of which complement Pomerol’s earthy, savory character.
