Winemaker's Notes:

Pillebourse is the special premium cuvée of Château Virecourt made from selected parcels of the property, using traditional methods of vinification and aging.

Beautiful, deep, purple robe. The nose is particularly complex with intense aromas recalling, cedars and grilled toast. On the palate, the wine is flavorful, lively, and beautifully dense without being hard. Nice finish.

My Notes:
