Château la Grolet Cuvée Classique Rouge Côtes de Bourg 2017
Cotes de Bourg, Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FranceChâteau La Grolet is a 17th-century manor house at the bottom of a valley surrounded by its 50-hectare estate, including 38 hectares of vines. The Hubert family acquired the estate in 1997, and began its conversion to biodynamics, with Demeter certification coming in 2000. This blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and merlot, averaging 50 years in vine age, are from their vineyards' steep slopes of gravel and clay. This was native fermented in concrete before a rest in older wood. Bright and shining, with dusky red fruits, led by cherries and red currants, infiltrated with carnations and dusty gravels. Tannins are tight and finely grippy, housing this medium bodied red to a fresh roasted coffee finish. Lovely energy and vibrance throughout, as is texture via the concrete.Tasted: 07 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $24.95 | 750ml | consignment |
