    In a few words ...

    A wine for long ageing, with the aim of being elegant and full-bodied. The Château is classified for its red wines because of its constant quest to improve quality.

    Le Figaro

    Le Figaro Vin

    "A disarmingly pure nose of blue fruits and forget-me-nots, which lengthens to comforting aromas of plum tart, while the palate is fresh, delicious, light as a feather, and a gently cocoa finish."

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby ​​with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.

    Aroma

    The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.

    Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy

    Taste

    Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.

    A wine for laying down that may still seem a little young today, but has great prospects for the future.
