In a few words ...
Le Clos Floridène, in Pujols sur Ciron, in the Graves region, has been gradually built up by Denis and Florence Dubourdieu since 1982, through successive purchases of plots of land on the best terroirs. The cru's name is forged from the two first names of its founders. James Suckling ( 92 )
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.
Wine Fruity | Long

It's hard to be disappointed with Clos Floridène: supple tannins, explosive fruit on the nose and palate, a wine that can be kept for ten years or more if you want to enjoy the exceptional fruit.
