Château La Dauphine - Fronsac - 2016

The cuvée Les Ormeaux du Clos Puy Arnaud comes from vines with an average age of 30 years. A Cotes de Castillon partially aged in barrel and endowed with fine substance: gourmandise and complexity for this vintage that is slowly reaching its peak.

L'enfant is the second wine of the Château Mille Roses in the Haut-médoc appellation, all suppleness and gourmandise. Depending on the year, 80% to 90% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. Its structure nevertheless allows it to be aged almost "like a great wine", i.e. in barrels that have already aged one wine for one year.

A Cotes de Castillon with lovely expressive fruit and good body. Good overall balance in this vintage.

The Grand Vin Rouge du Château Cazebonne is the estate's flagship cuvée, representing the most accomplished expression of its terroir. Produced from the best plots, the Grand Vin Rouge is mainly composed of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This organic wine develops intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and spices, the result of barrel ageing. The palate is both full-bodied and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish.
