Terre de Vins
"With a medium to deep garnet-purple color, the 2018 d'Agassac releases notes of crushed blackberries, blackcurrants, and warm plums, along with hints of graphite, lavender, and kirsch. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly styled with crisp black and red fruits and lovely freshness, textured by soft tannins, and finishes with a step forward." (Wine Advocate 2021) Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

About wine:
This elegantly structured wine already shows good balance between its tannins and generous blackcurrant fruit. Its structure will allow it to age, promising a refined wine that will be ready from 2023.

About wine:
A lively color, powerful nose of blueberry and fine leather, hints of shoe polish, the palate impresses with its elegance, finesse, and juiciness. Delicious flavors of tart morello cherry, evanescent tannins, notes of toast, a delicate, lacy ensemble. This is a graceful, sapid wine with potential. This historic estate has successfully evolved towards a contemporary style and has everything it takes to win over wine lovers. A monument to elegance.
