Description
This Pessac Leognan Chateau has been making excellent wines in recent years under the management of owner Jean-Jacques Bonnie whose family purchased the property in 1997. The 46 hectare vineyard is planted with equal proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
Deep ruby in colour and chock full of blueberry, vanilla and cherry blossom on the nose. Open and soft on the palate, this fresh, midweight and moreish wine is bursting with blue and red fruit. Bright and combact, there is a herbal edge with a sandy crunch to the tannins. Long and lively with acidity on the finish.
