The Château Plantier Rose is a Médoc Bourgeois vintage amongst the oldest and most prestigious. The burgess house was built at the time of NAPOLEON III. Originally known as the Chateau “La rose”, it has been the property, for more than a century, of a wine grower Médoc family that as always ensured a thorough verification in harmony with the best established tradition. Today, Madame et Monsieur CONTE perpetuate this tradition. The Chateau Plantier Rose is located in the heart of the Saint Estèphe appellation country, on clay and gravel plateau, which added to the carefully selected vine plants, has contributed to perfecting its reputation. Its wines are famous for their bouquet, their visual aspect, and a body that guarantees an excellent capacity to keep them long time.
86 point by Robert Parker
The 2014 Château Plantier Rose has a well proportioned bouquet with brambly black fruit, cedar and tobacco. It is nicely focused and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a laid-back Saint Estèphe that does not quite deliver the density, but comes across as satisfyingly balanced and precise. Drink this conservative wine over the next 5-7 years.
