Cabernet Sauvignon 58%, Merlot 40%, Petit-Verdot 2%

Tasting notes

__

The Merlot wines are rich and fruity.

Cabernet Sauvignon was able to take full advantage of the summerlike weather in late September, with highs of over

25°C.

 

The intense tannin accounts for a fine long aftertaste. Petit Verdot makes up just 2% of the blend because of the frost in 2017. It nevertheless adds a touch of tension and minerality.
