Belle Roche Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Château Le Chai winemakers Jean-Marc Sauboua and Mark Hoddy reserve their Belle Roche label for a wine made from the best parcel of grapes of the vintage. The soils are very poor and there's a fair blast of wind, so berries are always tiny. No wonder then that this wine is so densely flavoured, its colour almost black - the reason they call it their precious 'black diamond' of the vintage. Meticulously crafted at Le Chai, Belle Roche is a bit of a knockout. The team recommends decanting Belle Roche an hour or two before serving, just like Bordeaux. It's spot on with a juicy steak, rack of lamb and hearty casseroles.
