Chateau Rozier Joubert 2009

Superb opportunity to taste the 'vintage of a lifetime' in Bordeaux.
A cracking match for a Sunday roast with all the trimmings or warming hot-pots.
Beautifully ripe fruit-filled Merlot rich Claret.

The 2009 vintage has been lauded by almost every wine critic out there as the best in living memory. The main benefit is value for money. You can confidently look at wine like this, often described as 'lowly' or 'simpler'. The Bordelaise just cannot produce these kinds of wines every year. With a lashing of ripe fruit characters, velvety smoothness that punches well above what its appellation may suggest. You'll want to breathe in a decanter for 30 minutes or so before serving this gem.
