TASTING NOTES
A deep red hue, Château Gontier is redolent of ripe fruit, with liquorice and menthol notes adding extra vibrancy. On the palate, these aromas are combined with a silkily tannic structure reinforced by powerful flavour; velvety texture, great length. This balanced, generous wine is ideal with a red meat dish or a generous cheese board. An accessible wine that also makes an excellent aperitif, great with any modern or improvised cuisine.
AGEING
Ready for drinking from 2014, with an ageing potential of several years.
