Blaye

$110.00

The newest from our vineyards, BC de Bayle Carreau comes from a careful selection of grapes from our best plots in Blaye.

Benefitting from a privileged location on the Gironde River, a generous graving territory, and special attention throughout the wine marketing process, this high quality wine offers a beautiful potential.

This high quality blend complies with strict specifications: a higher density of plant compared to other vineyards, reduced yield of plant, barrel ageing in new oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES

This deep red wine, very elegant with great ageing potential, offers a delicately woody nose.

Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, spice and liquorice are followed by a palate of striking persistence and structural amplitude.

OUR CULINARY OPINION

With its refined tannins and with the amazing finess and roundness, BC de Bayle Carreau can be tasted in its youth, accompanied by spiced dried meat, and strong cheese.

With its great potential, it will delight the most delicate of palates. It will pair wonderfully with red meat, game, and cheese.
