Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
The nose is open, with notes of red fruit au gratin, young leather and laurel, and a hint of bitter cocoa.
Supple attack, satiny tannins, tension, finesse; fairly complex finish, with notes of plum, stones and undergrowth, fairly typical, frank, pleasant persistence.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Do you know ?
Designed in the 19th century, the Château's exuberant architecture was intended to hide its cellars.
