In a few words ...
Un vin rondement mené qui se propose avec un nez expressif et aromatique sur les fruits blancs à noyaux et les fruits exotiques. La bouche est élégante, fine, et sa complexité nous apporte une touche florale. Finale persistante. (GAULT ET MILLAU ETE 2013 – 15/20)
"Le 2018 Des Fougères Clos Montesquieu est formidable. Cerise noire, expresso, réglisse, fleurs séchées, moka, orange sanguine, gravier et épices à pâtisserie s'ouvrent progressivement dans le verre. Plus que toute autre chose, j'admire la persistance et l'équilibre général du vin. Le Clos Montesquieu est composé à 75% de cabernet sauvignon et à 25% de merlot."
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 | Robust
