Quite simply, Bordeaux's most decorated athlete!
Award of Excellence 2004 and 2005 at the Concours Général Agricole, RVF 15,5/20This vintage is no exception to the consistency that Pierre Taïx has succeeded in establishing the quality of its wines. The Rigaud Castle won the Award of Excellence, the top prize at the Paris International Agricultural Show, for two consecutive years. This full-bodied wine boasts an exceptional pedigree, with character and depth, and is predominantly Merlot (80%). A well-structured wine with refined and delicate aromas developed during a long 16-month aging process in oak barrels. A sure bet!

Eye
ruby red with purple highlights, full-bodied
Nose
Very expressive aromas of small black and red berries, complemented by hints of spice, vanilla, and toasted notes. (The oak is still quite prominent and needs to integrate.)
Palate
A lively attack, medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins, good structure, and a lovely, long finish. (Decant to soften it.)
Serve
served in a carafe at 16–17°C
