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.
Aged in 60% new French oak for 16 months. The bouquet is rich and plump with a dominance of black fruits. The palate expresses a delicious freshness giving harmony to the ripe cassis laden palate and dark chocolate overtones. There is a touch of savoury on the finish. A delightful Claret.
