Winemaker Notes
Chateau Maison Noble Saint Martin Bordeaux Superieur is a light red color with purple hues. There is a complex nose, with notes of crushed strawberries, vanilla and slightly spicy notes. The palate is concentrated and smooth, with powerful and ripe tannins. This is the very fruity wine, with nice freshness at the finish. The wine promises a bright future.
Blend: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc

Deep and pure, with an abundance of creamy blackcurrant and blackberry, boosted by licks of vanilla, cacao and spice.
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.
