Bordeaux Cotes de Bourg 2010 Chateau du Bousquet

  From its elevated position overlooking the vineyard, Château du Bousquet proudly draws attention to its magnificent stone residence, with its adjoining dovecote.The grapes grown are diverse: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. The deep limestone and clay soil is a real asset for the sloping vineyards – it provides coolness and irrigation even in the hottest weather. Perfect conditions for the crisp, fruity wines produced by the Château du Bousquet.
    This wine is almost black in colour, with purple reflections, it displays a powerful bouquet of blackcurrants and blackberries, alongside hints of smoky vanilla. Broad and well-rounded on the palate, well-ripened fruits balance beautifully with a subtle oakiness. The tannins are at their best: warm, silky and powerful.
