Roquette & Cazes

Douro, Portugal

Roquette & Cazes, the latest product of the happy encounter of two families

Jorge Roquette (Quinta do Crasto, Douro)and Jean-Michel Cazes (Chateau Lynch-Bages) were already united by a firm bond of friendship before going into partnership to create great wines using grape varieties native to the Douro valley.

The latest fruit of this collaboration, “Roquette & Cazes” came into being with the 2006 vintage, and has benefitted since its launch from the expertise acquired with Xisto (see below). Its keeping potential differentiates it from its older sibling. More accessible, it is in fact ready to taste as soon as it is put on the market.

 

Vintages

The wine shows a deep purple colour.

The complex nose reveals fresh berry fruits notes and elegant hints of violet and spice. An elegant start that leads to a weelstuctu- red wine, with fine-textured tannins.

On the palate this vintage has flavours of berry fruit nicely combined with delicate notes of violet. The finish is fresh and lingering.
