Description
2024 Château Roquefort Les Roches Blanches is a fresh, mineral‑driven Bordeaux, most commonly seen as a Sauvignon Blanc–based white from organically farmed vineyards on limestone and clay‑limestone soils near Bordeaux.
Style and grape variety
The 2024 Les Roches Blanches sold in the U.S. is a Bordeaux Blanc made primarily from Sauvignon Blanc, often blended with Sémillon and a touch of Muscadelle for extra body and floral lift.
It comes from limestone‑rich “roches blanches” (“white rocks”) terroir, which contributes tension, salinity, and bright acidity.
Flavor profile
Tasting notes highlight elderflower, jasmine, lemongrass, grapefruit zest, lime, and stone/mineral aromas.
On the palate it is medium‑bodied, with lively citrus fruits, subtle concentration, refreshing acidity, and a nervy, long, clean finish.
Drinking window and pairing
Intended to be enjoyed young, within a few years of the vintage, to showcase its aromatic intensity and crisp structure.
Pairs well with seafood (ceviche, sushi, shellfish), goat cheese, salads, and light poultry dishes, where its acidity and minerality complement fresh flavors.
