On the nose, it offers an intense, flattering bouquet, with pronounced aromas of fresh red fruit and hints of toffee. On the palate, the attack is silky, with very pure fruit and spicy notes that give the wine a fleshy, velvety texture. Ageing in terracotta reveals the beautiful, smooth tannins of the ripe grapes. This wine can be kept for at least 5 years. It is best served slightly chilled, between 17°C and 18°C.
Château Haut-Bages Monpelou, in a way "little brother" of Château Batailley, is one of the three original vineyards of Château Duhart-Milon. It produces an elegant and full-bodied wine, thanks to a particularly studied grape variety, made from Cabernet Sauvignon 72%, Merlot 22%, Cabernet Franc 6%, aged 18 months in oak barrels). Its robe is deep red, its nose fruity with aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, smoked cedar and minerals. On the palate, it is moderately fleshy with a nice fruitiness, chocolate notes, and a long finish of ripe fruit.
A great Bordeaux wine, Villa Mansoury is the result of a blend of several estates holding the Margaux appellation. This wine offers excellent aging potential. It is also distinguished by its suppleness, its delicacy and its very elegant fruity aromas. Aged 6 months in barrels, it reveals a beautiful intensity verging on deep purple. Its nose is on spices, followed by a concentrated and crunchy mouth, and a soft finish on asserted tannins. It goes perfectly with a roast duckling, a rib of beef with porcini mushrooms, suckling lamb or a characterful cheese like Saint-Nectaire.
