Château Haut-Ballet 2006

Château Haut-Ballet 2006

Canon-Fronsac|Red wine

Rating: Gault Millau 16.5/20, Le Point 16/20, Decanter 16/20
The wines of Château Haut-Ballet are the result of the marriage of a pure limestone terroir (in the quarries of Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac) and a single grape variety, Merlot. Like this 2006 vintage, they are intense and full-bodied, with notes of red fruit and remarkable oak. A must-try from the Libourne region!
