Tasting Notes

The Le Grand AOC Bordeaux Supérieur 2015 is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, carefully crafted by the winemakers using traditional techniques.
The wine undergoes a classic winemaking method, starting with a three-week aging process in regulated concrete vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in the same containers. It is then transferred to barrels for a 12-month maturation, with 35% aged in new barrels and the rest in one-year-old barrels.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep red hue with purple undertones. Aromas of red fruit, light minerals, and toasted notes greet the nose, preparing the palate for a sweet and balanced taste. The wine showcases an elegant structure with fine, persistent tannins that leave a lasting impression. Its long and distinguished finish makes it a truly refined vintage with impressive depth and longevity.
