Château Richelieu

Château Richelieu

Barrel ageing from 12 to 18 months further enhances the wine with delicate hints of vanilla, cocoa and sweet spices, without ever overshadowing its freshness and personality. The finish is broad and persistent, lingering on notes of black fruit, fine oak and spice.A wine of character, both powerful and harmonious, expressing the full richness and complexity of the estate’s finest blends. It will appeal to lovers of generous, structured wines with substantial tannic substance and remarkable ageing potential.

    WINE TASTING NOTES

    Nice ruby color with garnet reflections. This beautiful 2011 offers an intense and complex nose of red fruit, plum, undergrowth and spices. The palate is soft, rich and fruity, woody with measure, supported by melted tannins. A wine for drinking now.
