Tasting Notes
This delicate and suave wine offers a sustained ruby color with pretty purple reflections. Aromas of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant and blackberry). On the palate, the supple and silky tannins offer finesse and complexity to this wine. The finish is balanced, with an interesting aromatic persistence.
Vintage Notes
The 2020 vintage enjoyed excellent conditions for making exceptional wines of very high quality. The Bordeaux Red appellation covers the whole of the Bordeaux vineyard, a very large geographical area with a great diversity of soils and terroirs, where the following varieties are found: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Merlot, and Petite Verdot. An oceanic climate preserves the vines in winter, with mild temperatures, temperate summers, and average rainfall, spread throughout the year.
Winemaking
The harvests are conducted mechanically, with hand- sorting and destemming. After crushing, the juice is poured into stainless steel vats and Malolactic fermentation begins (either spontaneously, or by introduction of yeast from another vat that has already completed it). Ageing also takes place in these vats, followed by a few months bottle-aging.
