Origami 2012 du Château l'Evêché

Name: 2012 Origami at Château l'Evêché
Brand: Château l'Evêché
Rating: 3.3 (21 reviews)

Bordeaux|Red wine

3.3/5 (21 customers)

This Bordeaux reveals an expressive nose, with aromas of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and tobacco, as well as a slight animal note. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supple, and wonderfully generous, with beautiful texture and a hint of heather on the finish, which is rich and well-balanced. A truly excellent Bordeaux!

Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

This “Poupée” vintage from François Janoueix comes from two plots located in the Beauregard area and west of Cheval Blanc. The soil consists of gravel and ancient sand, and the vines are in their radiant fifties.
