Y RousseauSon of a Butcher Red 2017

“It's easy to like this generous, fruity and plush-textured wine based on French grape varieties, led by 45% Tannat and followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors are lightly shaded by spicy oak notes and there is a moderate dose of tannin to balance the jammy fruit character." Y. Rousseau Wines is the realization of a dream that began long ago in the South-West of France and evolved as Yannick Rousseau, French native, founder and winemaker, followed his heart and passion for winemaking. In 2008, Yannick and his Texas-born wife and accomplice Susan started Y. Rousseau Wines. Before getting there, Yannick honed his winemaking skills as an assistant winemaker at Newton Vineyards and later as a winemaker at Chateau Potelle Winery. Together, they have put all their knowledge, experience, and passion in the Y. Rousseau project, crafting small-lot, artisanal wines.
