2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“Alongside Merlot (20%), this fine, characterful wine is crafted from old Cabernet Sauvignon vines with excellent south-southwest exposure, harvested when slightly overripe. A distinct character that is evident from the intense, deep color and confirmed by the rich, generous nose, featuring candied fruits (blackberry, prune, blackcurrant) and sweet spices. The palate is well supported by integrated oak and dense, powerful tannins, which remain silky and lend the wine great volume. A little more patience, and this bottle will reach its peak.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the wine:

Alongside Merlot (20%), this fine, characterful wine is crafted from old Cabernet Sauvignon vines with excellent south-southwest exposure, harvested when slightly overripe. Its assertive character is evident from the intense, deep color and is confirmed by the rich, generous nose, dominated by candied fruits (blackberry, prune, blackcurrant) and sweet spices. The palate is well supported by integrated oak and dense, powerful tannins, which remain silky and lend the wine great body. With a little more patience, this bottle will reach its peak.

About the estate:

Jean-Luc Buffeteau, who returned to the family estate in 1998, cultivates 29 hectares of vineyards on the rolling hillsides of the Entre-deux-Mers region, in the heart of the Sauveterrois area, in the towns of Castelviel and Gornac. There, he produces two wines: La Grande Métairie and Haut Dambert.
