“A superb wine from the southern Médoc, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc is a true revelation of the vintage. A serious, full-bodied wine, beautifully crafted, with floral notes intertwined with underbrush, blackcurrant, and subtle hints of smoke and truffle. Located not far from the classified growth La Lagune, d'Agassac shares some of its characteristics and is sold at a good price. A member of the Alliance des Crus Bourgeois du Médoc.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) • Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France •

Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

About the wine:

A lovely wine with a very distinct character, showing good structure and a lovely minerality. A slight hint of saltiness on the finish.
