Quick-Scan Product Facts

• The Style: Dry Red Wine (Full-Bodied & Elegant)

• ABV: 13% – 13.5%

• Grape Variety: A classic Bordeaux blend typically consisting of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot (proportions vary slightly by vintage).

• Region: Haut-Médoc AOC, Bordeaux, France (Left Bank).

• Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels (approx. 30% new oak), overseen by expert consultants such as Hubert de Boüard (owner of Château Angélus).

• Flavor Profile: A deep, brilliant cherry-red color with violet highlights. The nose is rich and complex, mixing blackcurrant and black cherry with spicy, minty, and wild sage notes. On the palate, it is harmonious and well-balanced with ripe, silky tannins and a long, aromatic finish featuring hints of vanilla and licorice.

• Serving Tips: Serve at room temperature (16°C – 18°C). For older vintages, decanting for at least 45 minutes is recommended to allow the complex “toasty” oak and spice characteristics to breathe.

• Food Pairing: Perfectly suited for fine dining. Pairs excellently with grilled or roasted red meats (especially lamb and duck breast), mushroom risotto, and fine cheeses. For a unique experience, try it with Pyrenees cheese and black cherry jam.

• Origin: France (Barton & Guestier).
