On January 31st, 2022, at the end of the Coupe des Crus de Saint-Emilion, 24 crus were named “Coups de Cœur 2022” by a jury of professionals! Château Rocheyron, a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, was one of the winners. Pierre SISSECK, 59, is its co-owner. Find out more about this winemaker and his wine!
I’m co-owner of the estate and oenologist. I decide on viticultural practices and wine-making. I also organize the promotion and marketing of our cru.
"It's a great joy to see our cru rewarded. It's a real recognition of our work and our convictions for this small estate (8.45 ha), which intends to make a name for itself!"
Château Rocheyron is located on the limestone plateau in the commune of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes.
The winegrowing history of Rocheyron dates back to the first half of the 16th century. There are traces of a farming family bearing the same name as the hamlet of Rocheyron.
Its contemporary history dates back to the 21st century. It was at this time that Silvio Denz and I acquired plots of land ideally located on the limestone plateau. We were convinced that this terroir would make the great wines of our dreams. So we embarked on the adventure and created Château Rocheyron in reference to the history of this vineyard.
Featuring a silver sun, the Château Rocheyron label is a veritable hymn to nature. This astral element is no accident, since it refers to the lunar calendar, the keystone of our biodynamic practices.
The label was designed by Pati Nuñez, graphic designer and winner of 8 Laus Awards, the Prix National du Design in 2006 and the National Design Award in 2007.
Our joint project began with a clear idea: to use biodynamic viticulture to produce a wine in the image of the great wines of the 40’s and 50’s, a time when, to make great wines, winemakers could only rely on beautiful grapes from old vines with low yields.
Château Rocheyron goes very well with a nice piece of grilled meat accompanied by roasted vegetables, or a nice selection of hard or bloomy cheeses.
Our high standards in both vineyard and cellar drive us every day to aim ever higher. We work hand in hand with our teams to give an ever more accurate interpretation of the terroir. We are delighted to work with winemakers who are deeply attached to the land that is our greatest asset.
Biodynamic viticulture for many years, then certified Organic Agriculture, we work naturally for future generations. We have achieved the environmental objectives we set ourselves with the "Haute Valeur Environnementale 3" certification and the "Agriculture Biologique" label, while keeping in mind new challenges for the coming years. Today, we are very proud to defend environmental values and to share them with all our fans.
The greatest successes are often the result of a combination of influences, as demonstrated by our friendship with Château Rocheyron since 2010. As men of terroir and passion, we couldn't resist producing the finest wines from this excellent terroir on the limestone plateau. With the support of teams as experienced as they are passionate, we strive to combine know-how and expertise to deliver successful vintages every year, in a continuous quest for excellence, while respecting the great terroir of Saint-Émilion...
