About the Wine
The region Entre-Deux-Mers forms a triangle of land constituting the convergence of the rivers Dordogne and Garonne. This 70-acre property created in 1930 is managed by the 3rd generation of the Solan family. Made from Clay-limestone soils, this is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, carefully picked at full maturity before being vinified in the cellars. Maceration for 3 weeks, followed by a maturation of 8 months to refine its tannins. A small part of the final blend is matured in oak for 6 months. The blend includes 40% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 60% Merlot.
Tasting Notes
It's a beautiful dark ruby color. The nose reveals red fruits and berries aromas (morello Sherrie). The palate is elegant and complex, with notes of flowers, red fruits, and chocolate, with a long finish. This Bordeaux provides a lot of roundness with freshness and elegant tannins. The finish is long. The whole forms a great balance. It is a lovely wine that expresses complexity.
Pairing Recommendation
This wine will go well with chicken salad, pulled-pork, shepherd's pie, vegetables cooked in sauce & aged cheese.
