This wine is made from 95% Merlot grapes with aromas of red fruits, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon which brings structure and power, 1% Cabernet Franc for its finesse and elegance and finally 2% Malbec for its freshness and spicy notes. A short period of 12 months of aging in vats allows to favor fruity and bright aromas. Its color is light purple with garnet reflections. Its first nose expresses delicate fresh red fruits before opening with notes of blueberry and blackcurrant. The attack on the palate is fresh and refined, the follow-up is greedy. The finish expresses a voluptuous bouquet of red and black fruits.
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.
