Chateau du Bousquet
Appellation:
Cotes de Bourg
Description:
The 2018 vintage shows a ruby red color with glimmers of dark crimson. The nose is typical for wines from this estate, with powerful scents of black fruit and vanilla, and a warm hint of toast. Dense and full of character on the palate with perfect balance. Nicely crafted tannins lead to a good, persistent finish.
Tasting Notes:
Ruby hue with carmine highlights. The typical nose of the Domain's wines excludes powerful scents of black fruit and vanilla sprinkled with toasty notes. Dense and full of character, the palate reveals a perfect balance. The tannins show a lovely constitution and herald a long-lingering finish.
