Red Château d’Estoublon 75cl • 2021

A wine with a purplish-red colour. The nose is charming, combining notes of liquorice, cedar, undergrowth and sweet spices such as cloves. The palate reveals aromas of red fruit, such as blackberry, as well as spicy notes from the Mourvèdre. The tannins are fine and silky. The noble, discreet woodiness ensures perfect balance.

Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet-Sauvignon.

Clay-limestone and sandy-loam, gravelly.

12 months, partly in oak barrels, natural concrete eggs and stainless steel vats.

14% vol.

The spring of 2021 saw some capricious frosts, damaging most French vineyards. Fortunately, little damage was observed in the Estoublon vineyard. Frequent rainfall in May increased health problems, but the favourable spring weather enabled the grapes to flower beautifully without coulure or millerandage.
The summer of 2021 was ideal for good vegetative development of the vines, while keeping the berries relatively fresh. Harvesting began on 25 August and lasted for a month in bright sunshine, allowing the berries to ripen smoothly and harmoniously. The wines of this vintage are marked by their balance between power, finesse and depth.

Drink now or cellar for 8 to 10 years.

Contains sulphites.
