Château La Couronne - Réserve 2011

Montagne-Saint-Emilion|Red wine

3.9/5 (20 customers)

2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"The result of meticulous work in the winery (long vatting, micro-oxygenation) aimed at achieving deep extraction, this wine—with its striking deep purple color—is intense on the nose, featuring prominent notes of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry) against a subtle woody backdrop. A full-bodied and compact attack, supported by firm, tight tannins, gives way to a softer, more supple mid-palate—the hallmark of a Merlot that has reached beautiful maturity.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)
