Bordeaux Supérieur AOC La Réserve 2017 Château Picon

Château Picon La Réserve originates from an exceptional terroir, calcareous and clayey, which give the wine a splendid minerality. Made from a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, it comes from vineyards in the commune of Eynesse, near the bastide Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, on an 81-hectare estate on a plateau overlooking the Dordogne valley.

Its vines have an average age of 35 years and are meticulously cared for, with a green harvest. The wine is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, while it ages in 100% new French oak barrels for 15 months.

Its dark red colour, with glints of carmine, stands out in the glass; on the nose it offers a bouquet of red fruits with complex aromas of coffee. On the palate, it is powerful and dense, with notes of ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla. A dense tannin makes it an opulent, rich wine.

It is the ideal wine to accompany red meats in sauce and highly seasoned, as well as game and game. Excellent with lasagne with Bolognese sauce.
