Cuvèe Prestige Rouge Côtes de Bordeaux Blaye 2018 - Château des Tourtes

This Cuvèe Prestige Rouge is an AOC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux and is made from the grapes Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). The harvest is sorted already in the vineyard with a second selection on the 'table de tri'. The grapes are completely destemmed. Maturation in oak barrels lasts 12 months in separate batches. 30% in new barrels and 70% in one- and two-year-old barrels. The Cuvèe Prestige Rouge has a dark ruby red colour. The nose has notes of black fruit, vanilla and toast from the oak. The wine is firm and powerful with good tannins that allow it to age well. Nice aromatics on the palate, candied fruit and nice oak. There are also notes of liquorice, clove and a hint of menthol. Drink now or a few years later. Nice with mushroom ravioli, risotto with chorizo, grilled meat, camembert or hachee. Serve at 16-18 degrees.
