The regular, high ratings in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate testify to the quality of this wine. In recent years, Saint-Roch Chimères has consistently been rated above the 90-point mark - and is also available at such reasonable prices that critics are truly amazed.

Saint-Roch Chimères is a blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah and Carignan.

Château Saint Roch

Im Weinanbaugebiets Roussillon in Südfrankreich befindet sich das Chateau Saint Roch. Das Weingut liegt im wunderschönen Vallée d’Agly in der Nähe des Ortes Maury. Im Norden der Anbauflächen des Weinguts ist das Château de Quéribus gelegen, das eine bedeutende Katharerfestung im 13. Jahrhundert war.

Bereits seit sechs Generationen bewirtschaftet die Familie Lafage Weinberge in der Region. Jean Marc Lafage und seine Frau Eliane lernten die Weinherstellung in Kalifornien, Australien, Südafrika und Chile und begannen 1996 mit der eigenen Weinproduktion. 2001 übernahmen sie den Keller von Jean-Marc’s Vater. Seit 2006 ist das Chateau Saint Roch in ihrem Besitz.

Das Klima um das Chateau Saint Roch ist geprägt von den Fallwinden der nahen Pyrenäen mit dem fast 2800 Meter hohen Pic de Canigou sowie der Nähe zum Mittelmeer. Die Rebflächen des Weinguts umfassen ca. 44 Hektar und liegen auf 120 bis 370 Metern Höhe.

Die Gegend um Saint-Roch ist einzigartig. Viele einheimische Bäume und Kräuter prägen die Flora. Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Muscat und Macabeo sind die vorherrschenden Rebsorten der meist sehr alten Weinberge, aber auch Syrah, Carignan und Grenache Blanc Reben gedeihen hier prächtig.

Product recommendation

Château Saint-Roch Le Rosé
The Le Rosé Château Saint-Roch is a blend of 50% Grenache Gris and 50% Mourvèdre. A wonderfully refreshing, invigorating rosé, the nose offers notes of strawberries, blackberries and a subtle hint of herbs.On the palate, juicy, soft and harmonious. In the finale with the wonderful fruit flavors of strawberries, raspberries and also of ripe lemons. A wine where the fruitiness and acidity is just right.

Château Saint-Roch Roubials Côtes Catalanes
Grenache grapes were harmoniously paired with about 10-20% Shiraz to create this wonderful cuvée from the province of Roussillon in the south of France. This wine was produced in the picturesque canton of La Vallée d’Agly near the little town of Maury, in which the tireless winemaker and owner of the estate, Jean-Marc Lafage, grew up and thus knows the terroir like the back of his hand.After he had taken over the vineyards in 2006, he created a wine from grapes that ripened on slate soils at an altitude of 140 metres. The sumptuous richness and warm texture of the Saint-Roch also result from Jean-Marc Lafage’s habit of waiting to harvest the grapes until they’ve reached maximum maturity, on the verge of being overripe. They are then picked by hand from 30-60-year-old vines, and the wine matures in tanks after a brief maceration. Subsequently, the Saint-Roch Roubials was aged for 11 months in 500-litre casks made of French oak, of which 20% were new barrels.It is thus no surprise that this wine from Southern France is vibrant and of great stature, and is often compared to Italian Amarone wines or the renowned Super Tuscans. The spicy and powerful Saint-Roche Roubials is a deep red in colour. On the nose, it is fresh and spicy, offering an abundance of fruit aromas such as black berries, liquorice, chocolate and plums. The wine is ample, inviting and juicy on the palate, showing a good, solid structure and a light sweetness. The finish is long, with soft and well-integrated tannins.The Saint-Roche Roubials is impressively full-bodied but not too strong. It is a perfect accompaniment to steaks, spicy meat loaf or grilled dishes. It is also a real insider’s tip to enjoy on a long winter evening in front of a fireplace.Robert Parker as well as the Wine Advocate award the Saint-Roch-Roubials 92 points (2016 vintage), whilst the 2017 vintage was awarded 92 points by Jeb Dunnuck.

Saint Roch Sélections Parcellaires Rouge AOP
The Saint-Roch Sélections Parcellaires Rouge is a blend of Shiraz (Syrah) and Grenache noir. The wine has a nice, dark color. On the nose aromas of black fruit, underlaid with a fine spiciness. Balanced on the palate and wonderfully refreshing. The Wine Advocate writes: “I struggle to think of another portfolio that encompasses anywhere close to this level of value, and the average quality to price for these wines is just hard to believe.” Enjoy a remarkable red wine from the growing area of Maury in the French Languedoc-Roussillon northwest of Perpignan.

Blason d'Aussières Corbières
The Blason d'Aussières Corbières comes from the traditional Château d'Aussières wine estate, which is located in the heart of the renowned Corbières wine region in the Languedoc. This vineyard belongs to the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and combines first-class terroir with centuries of winemaking expertise. The result is an elegant and complex red wine that carries the essence of the Mediterranean climate.The cuvée is made from Syrah, Grenache Noir, Carignan and Mourvèdre - grape varieties known for their powerful fruit and spicy notes. The vineyards benefit from hot days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen optimally while retaining their freshness. After careful manual harvesting, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in order to extract the intense fruit aromas in the best possible way. Part of the wine is matured in French oak barrels, which gives it additional depth and a fine, elegant structure.In the glass, the Blason d'Aussières Corbières is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet is characterized by ripe dark fruits such as blackcurrants, cherries and plums, accompanied by fine spicy nuances reminiscent of laurel, black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a pleasant fullness and supple tannins. The fruit flavors are accompanied by a subtle mineral note that gives it an elegant freshness. The finish is long and harmonious, with a fine balance between fruit, spice and subtle toasted aromas.This characterful red wine is an excellent accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes such as grilled lamb with rosemary, a hearty ratatouille or braised game dishes. It also unfolds its full potential with a selection of mature cheeses or a classic French cassoulet. To enjoy the full spectrum of aromas, Blason d'Aussières Corbières should be served at a temperature of 16 to 18 °C.
