Bold & Juicy

Sourced from the estate’s 16-hectare vineyard, the Closerie Saint Roc is a blend composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted according to a holistic, ecosystem-based philosophy incorporating agrobiology, biodynamics (Ecocert and Demeter certified), agroforestry, and permaculture principles, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented by infusion with indigenous yeasts, without synthetic products. The wine is aged for 24 months in mature oak casks and bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and sense of place.

A deep garnet in the glass, the Closerie Saint Roc impresses with notes of dark fruit and a hint of minerality. A modern Bordeaux style that focuses on clear fruit quality.

Pairs perfectly with braised beef cheeks, lamb, or aged Comté or Manchego.

About the Winery

Closerie Saint Roc

La Closerie Saint Roc is located at the end of the Coteau des Merveilles, the most prestigious limestone plateau with starfish fossils east of the Garonne. The site was a meeting place between the English, who occupied Aquitaine, and the French who wanted to reconquer their lands which had fallen under English rule following the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204) to Henry Plantagenet (marriage in 1152), the future King Henry II of England.

In 2013, Pascal Amoreau (14th generation of the family), then searching for exceptional terroirs, acquired the land of La Closerie. He decided to rename the estate "Closerie Saint Roc" in homage to its history. But La Closerie Saint Roc would above all be an opportunity for Pascal, his son Adrien, and Valérie Amoreau, as well as Harold Langlais, partners in this project, to revive a piece of local history and express their winemaking talents by producing exceptional wines.

Pascal, Adrien, Valerie and Harold continue, within their ecosystem, the ancestral philosophy and methods developed over 400 years by the Amoreau family – fifteen generations of history and know-how – which is now called biodynamics.
