"Paré d'une robe soutenue et brillante, ce vin privilégie dans son puissant bouquet les arômes de vanille, de grillé, de moka et de chocolat légués par un élevage de dix-huit mois en barriques, neuves à 60 %. Toutefois le fruit - la mûre, la myrtille - est bien présent ; sous-jacent au nez, il reprend ses droits au palais, qui révèle des tanins encore fougueux en finale. Ample et longue, la structure est garante d'un solide potentiel."
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.
