Cuvée Prestige

2008 Bordeaux Superieur 20% Merlot - 80% Cabernet Sauvignon

Chateau De Basset Cuvée Prestige is a captivating red wine that elegantly showcases the magnificent terroir of Bordeaux Superieur. This vintage from 2008 is composed of a blend of twenty percent Merlot and eighty percent Cabernet Sauvignon, offering a delightful balance of fruit and structure. The wine presents a medium-bodied profile with a harmonious acidity that enhances its overall freshness. On the palate, expect pronounced notes of dark fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by hints of tobacco and cedar that provide depth and complexity. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, giving the wine a firm backbone while still allowing for a smooth finish. This wine is beautifully crafted to be enjoyed now, but it also exhibits the potential for further aging, making it a truly impressive representation of the Bordeaux region.
