In a field as subjective as wine

Mencia is a powerfully flavored grape – showing cranberry

Their domaine is on a curiously mineral rich form of basalt called spilite in the very heart of Anjou’s wine country

Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 2019 Region:Bordeaux In a field as subjective"One of my favourite wines in 2019, immediately captivating with a lasting impression. Gorgeous dark purple in the glass with blackcurrant notes, perfumed violets, dark chocolate and hints of truffle the old vine Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) giving aromatic intensity on the nose and palate. Succulent straight away with ripe cherry, blood orange and pink grapefruit flavours set against soft, mouthwatering acidity and a lovely saline grip to the tannins.
