Château Rocher-Figeac was created in 1880 by M. Rocher, ancestor of the Tournier family who are the current owners. The property is located at "Figeac", a place located to the west of St-Émilion and adjacent to the vineyard of the famous Grand Cru Classé Château Figeac. The family also owns Château Rocher-Bonregard in Pomerol, thus producing two very fine, small production right bank wines that offer tremendous value and classic flavor profiles.

Smooth, round and full bodied, stunning by the glass as well as a perfect pairing for wild game, leg of lamb and strong cheeses.
