This Château has always had a very strong following amongst our customers here in the North of England - no doubt due to its continued policy of offering good Claret at a competitive price to its peers. A very good wine that will age well.
A very rich and opulent wine, the result of a larger proportion of Merlot in the blend. Blackcurrants and morello cherries give a really opulent feel to the wine, the acidity seems relatively low which enhances the moreish mouth feel. This wine will no doubt be very popular.
