The 2014 Côtes de Bourg 'Prestige' from Château Rousselle is a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc which opens to inviting aromas of blackberries and dark cherries layered with toast, tar, roasted coffee and minerals all coming together beautifully in the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied which is nicely structured with a plush texture. Notes of dark cherries and tar continue to weave their way into the long finish. Overall, this is wonderful effort from the vintage, which is already showing some early appeal, but should also benefit from some short-term cellaring. (Best 2018-2025) - January, 2017 (JD)
