Chateau Haut Selve Graves 2019

Alcohol: 13.5%

Grape(s): 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon

Localization: Graves, Bordeaux, France

Tasting Notes: A garnet red color. On the nose, black fruits dominate, mixed with Provençal herbs and floral notes (dried roses), sign of the greatest terroirs of Graves. The aromatic intensity reveals subtle notes of roasting and leather, a sign of well-controlled aging in barrels. In the mouth, the attack is delicately wadded, then the wine quickly asserts itself as dense and racy with a woody that does not exceed. We find a dominant fruitiness that lies on a final licorice. The tannins, both fine and structured, guarantee a continuously balanced weft. This cuvée will seduce by its intense floral aromatic accompanied by a dense and elegant texture.
