Aroma
Blackcurrant with black cherry and plum
Description
Product Code: EFA50
A fine red from a well known estate in Margaux that’s held Grand Cru Classé status since Bordeaux’s 1855 Classifcation. Passionate about sustainability, the current owners have converted to both organic and biodynamic techniques, one of the first estates of such rank to do so. Made from 65% Cabernet and 35% Merlot sourced from 25-year-old vines grown on deep sandy gravel soils and aged for 16 months in a combination of clay amphorae and both new and used French oak. This Grand Cru Classé red is deep ruby in colour with luscious aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry and plum married with notes of tobacco spice and cedar. On the palate, firm but ripe tannins give structure and a lifted acidity carries the complex black fruit flavours onto the lengthy finish.
