Cuvee La Fleur Tabenot

2009 Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux Merlot 60%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%

Chateau Hoyt Cuvee La Fleur Tabenot is a stunning red wine that exemplifies the rich terroir of the Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux region. Composed primarily of Merlot, with a harmonious blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this vintage showcases a beautiful garnet hue that draws you in. The wine presents an inviting bouquet of dark fruits, such as ripe blackcurrants and plums, complemented by subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it offers a well-structured experience, with a medium body that glides gracefully across the tongue. The balanced acidity provides brightness, enhancing the fruit intensity and ensuring a refreshing finish. A gentle presence of tannins adds depth without overpowering the wine, making it delightful to savor. This vintage is also dry enough to pair well with a range of culinary delights, from roasted meats to rich cheeses, making it an exceptional choice for any occasion.
