Elaboration

Chapelle de Potensac 2016 is a great vintage as the weather conditions were ideal for the harvest of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which took place from the 5th of October to the 19th of October 2016. Thanks to the good weather conditions, the tannins had a perfect maturation.

Taster´s notes

A very pretty red wine with fine tannins. On the nose, it presents aromas of red flowers and red fruit, with sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and spice flavors. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant, with an attractive set of polished, vibrant tannins. We recommend pairing this great wine with red meat, spring vegetables and foie gras. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC
