ASSEMBLAGE

vigneron terminology en français
 

Using the savoir faire of Pénélope’s family, we practice assemblage to create our Bordeaux-inspired wines. Assemblage is the art of blending wines from different grape varieties and terroirs. It is not just a technical process; it’s a meticulous craft passed down through generations, imparting complexity, balance, and longevity to wines. Each grape gives something to the blend: more tannins, vibrant colour, and particular aromas like spice or cassis. Our use of assemblage continues the legacy of Pénélope’s ancestors, fostering a connection between the past and the present.

MERCI

Thank you for supporting our vigneron family, season after season.
Avec gratitude et amour de notre famille à la vôtre, 
Pénélope and Dylan
Vignerons, Roche Wines

BARRIQUE

A barrique, a term originating in Bordeaux, refers to the specific size and shape of a French oak barrel, typically holding 225 litres of wine. The barrique influences not only the flavour, but the texture of the wine. Newer barriques impart delicious vanilla and spice flavours to wines, and add uniquely textured tannins, building the wine’s complexity. Barrels also provide small amounts of oxygen to soften and stabilize the wine.

Wine is very much a part of our healthy lifestyle – it’s not a contradiction, but part of our intention: plaisir de vivre.
