Soft and velvety in texture, this wine is full of ripe fruit. Cushioned by the texture, the tannins are dense enough to promise aging to this wine with potential.

A fairly classic Castillon, dark berry fruits on the attack with brighter raspberry and redcurrant notes coming in through the mid palate giving lift and definition. Tannic hold, some smoked grilled oak notes. Attractive. Owned by the same family for 600 years, today headed up by Jean de Boigne, the 26th generation of his family at the estate.

Aromas of berries and mushrooms with some fresh herbs. Some currants, too. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. 75% merlot, 23% cabernet franc and 2% malbec. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully. Best after 2023.
