2021 Pavillon La Tourelle Bordeaux Rouge Médoc

A decadent blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux red is the perfect marriage of quality varietals. The Medoc appellation boasts an array of soil types, allowing for a wine with many expressions. During its turbulent history, turrets were built throughout Medoc to guard the coveted Gironde estuary where the grapes are grown. After grapes are destemmed and crushed, the wine is fermented in oak barrels for a smooth, well-rounded structure. With intense purple hues, this wine opens on the nose with raspberry and blackcurrant notes. Its tannins are silky, and the subtle oaky notes let those lighter berry aromas shine. This wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled alongside meats and cheeses.
