Bottle Price

Description

Quality Bordeaux wine at a totally accessible price point. Predominately Merlot with about 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. After harvesting at optimum maturity for each plot and individually monitored and controlled fermentations, the lots are aged for 12 months in barrels and vats before being bottled at the Château 18 months after harvest.

The nose is dark-fruited with notes of blackberry and black cherry and hints of forest floor and tobacco. Rich blackberry and black-currant flavors give this wine its ripe character. They are well balanced by the spicy tannins and dry core.

“Firm and linear barrel sample with attractive blackcurrant and mineral character. Medium body. Structured sample. Like it.” Score 90, James Suckling, April 2017
Bronze medal, Decanter 2019 World Wine Awards

Drink now and over the next 5 years. Pair with Filet Mignon, roast lamb or stuffed eggplant.
