Critic reviews
"The 2016 Rocheyron has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and suggestions of wood smoke, camphor and pencil lead over a core of red and black plums, kirsch and blackberry tart. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and elegant in the mouth, the delicate fruit is well-knit with fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a perfumed note."
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, November 2018, RobertParker.com
"The 2016 Rocheyron, from Peter Sisseck's property in Saint-Émilion, is unquestionably the best to date. The bouquet bursts from the glass with fresh blackberry and boysenberry fruit that is seamlessly integrated with the one-third new oak. The palate is framed by fine tannins and a superb line of acidity. There is plenty of crisp black fruit here, and the smooth, energetic finish leaves a crushed stone residue. If you couldn’t locate any Pingus this year, just come here."

"Fabulous blackberry, black-tea, violet and blueberry aromas follow through to a full-bodied, dense and powerful palate with wonderful, dialed fruit and tannins. Fine, persistent finish. All in strength and finesse. Try after 2024."
James Suckling, January 2019, JamesSuckling.com
"The 2016 Château Rocheyron from Silvio Denz and Peter Sisseck comes from the upper plateau in Saint-Emilion and has more than a little potential. Made from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc brought up in 50% new oak, it has firm, tight, structured vibe as well as terrific minerality in its blue fruits, liquid violet, bouquet garni and graphite aromatics. With high, yet integrated tannin, impressive purity, and good acidity, it’s going to be for those with some patience."
