Winemaker Notes
This wine is an assembly of wonderful diverse terroirs of the Château mixing grape varieties of Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon for a fruity wine mixing the roasting aromas.The nose exhibits perfumes of mocha, vanilla and toast. The mouth is rich with notes of ripened fruits.
This is a delicate wine, perfect to drink with roasted lamb and with aged cheeses.

James Suckling
A juicy, fruity red with slightly chewy tannins, but nice berry and chocolate character. Drinkable now, but better in 2022.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a plush wine, ripe with fine tannins and rich berry flavors. Jammy Merlot gives the wine a warm character that is balanced by the still dry and firm tannins. This is a wine in progress, ready to drink from 2022. Organic. Suitable for vegans. Cellar Selection.
In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
