The Wine of the Sea Prestige Chateau Rousselle 2015 is a unique red wine from the Côtes de Bourg appellation in Bordeaux, France. This wine stands out not just for its robust Bordeaux blend, but also for the innovative way it’s aged—submerged under the sea. This process, which takes place 100 feet below the water's surface, is said to accelerate and intensify the aging process, giving the wine distinct characteristics that set it apart from traditionally aged wines.
Chateau Rousselle has a long history in the Bordeaux region, dating back several centuries. The 2015 vintage is particularly notable for its experimentation with underwater aging, which is believed to alter the molecular structure of the wine, resulting in a unique texture and flavor profile. This innovative approach is what makes the "Wine of the Sea" so special, with the cool, light-free, high-pressure environment underwater contributing to its distinct character.

A complex bouquet of dark fruits like blackcurrant and cherry, complemented by hints of tobacco, leather, and a subtle marine influence.
Full-bodied with a rich texture, offering flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit.
A long, smooth finish with lingering notes of dark chocolate and a slight minerality from the sea aging process.
The provenance, production and bottle facts that matter—nothing added for effect.
