Château Falfas
Le Chevalier, 2011

 

Côtes de Bourg

€139.50

1.5L Magnum

From the oldest vines of the estate - over 75 year old - Le Chevalier spent 18 months ageing in new oak barrels. Plenty of style. Rich, ripe, concentrated and full-bodied with notes of dark wild berries and a little spice well supported by acidity. Ample and voluptuous on the palate. Certainly one of the very best of the Côtes de Bourg appellation. A ‘Grand Vin’!
