Château Plaisance - Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2017
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A golden opportunity"
"The nose displays remarkable depth, immersing the taster in a basket of fruits ranging from blackberry to blackcurrant, with hints of mocha and cocoa. From the first sip, the palate is full-bodied and silky, enhanced by sweet spices (cinnamon) and supported by firm, tight tannins with a fine texture. On the finish, the oak fades away to reveal juicy fruit of beautiful ripeness. The Favorite was voted the winner. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) A golden opportunity to buy by the case!

About wine:
The nose displays remarkable depth, immersing the taster in a basket of fruits ranging from blackberry to blackcurrant, with hints of mocha and cocoa. From the very first sip, the palate is full-bodied and silky, enhanced by sweet spices (cinnamon) and supported by firm, tight tannins with a fine texture. On the finish, the oak fades away to reveal juicy fruit of beautiful ripeness. The Favorite put to a vote.
