Château Haut-Canteloup - Cuvée Prestige 2010

Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux|Red wine

3.4/5 (38 customers)

Rating from the Hachette Wine Guide: 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Editor’s Choice
“An intense garnet color with black highlights coats the glass. On the nose, the twelve months in oak are evident through elegant toasted and roasted aromas that dominate—without overpowering—the notes of ripe black fruit. Frank and powerful from the first sip, the palate displays a solid tannic structure, chewiness, and volume. The long, finely toasted finish is the final touch that wins you over.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)
