Grand Cru Classé de Graves
Elaborated by Carbonnieux - View other products
Throughout its vegetative cycle, the vines have followed a magnificent evolution thanks to almost perfect weather. The 2015 vintage is a sunny and precocious vintage allowing it to enter into the legend of these marvelous “5” vintages.
The color is intense, deep, tending towards purple. The nose is expressive and fruity. On the palate, the attack is fresh then evolves into an ample tannic structure, worthy of great wines for aging. Cabernets sauvignon are the majority in the blend and bring volume and remarkable length in the mouth. The Merlot and Petit Verdot confer an aromatic complexity and a certain gluttony to the whole.
