2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

This Caroline vintage offers the immense advantage of combining quality and quantity. Produced from 64 hectares of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, it opens flawlessly with intense, indulgent aromas of candied red and black fruits mixed with spices and toasted almonds. The palate offers great presence: a certain volume and roundness, supported by dense but well-integrated tannins that respect the overall harmony and extend the finish, which is still a little spirited."

About wine:

This Caroline cuvée offers the immense advantage of combining quality and quantity. Made from 64 hectares of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, it opens flawlessly with intense, indulgent aromas of candied red and black fruits mixed with spices and toasted almonds. The palate offers great presence: a certain volume and roundness, underpinned by dense but well-integrated tannins that respect the overall harmony and extend the finish, which is still a little spirited.

About the estate:

Since the 1980s, Jean-François Réaud has been managing Ch. le Grand Moulin, whose 40 hectares of vineyards stretch across the heart of the Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, complemented by a wine trading business.
