    VINTAGE 2015

    TASTING NOTES

    This wine made the very most of the generous 2015 vintage and the personality of its unique terroir. To start with, the brooding red hue with deep purple tints is a sign of great richness. Next, the bouquet is a wonderful combination of notes of blackberry and blackcurrant with mild spice and the fragrance of the surrounding garrigue. Lastly, the palate has just the right amount of richness without excessive extract, and a creamy texture enveloping balanced tannins. A true charmer of a wine which will be a delight to share over a barbecue or, slightly chilled, as an aperitif with friends.

    AGEING

    Best drunk young, within 2-3 years of vintage.

    TASTING NOTES

    This bottle holds all the generosity, character and personality of our terroir at Cassagnau! A beautiful, sombre wine with an expressively fruity bouquet and a hint of spice and Mediterranean herbs that herald in a smooth, creamy palate with velvety tannins. Definitely a wine to share with friends over an informal meal or, slightly chilled, simply as an aperitif.
