Chateau Reynier Bordeaux Red 2019

Alcohol: 12.5%

Grape(s): 50%Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon

Location: Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France

Tasting Notes: Made equally with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in French and American oak barrels. Aromas of ripe red berry fruit with hints of oak. Medium-bodied with well integrated tannins and a good length.

Notes:  The quality of the red grapes comes from careful work in the vineyard. Rigorous selection of the harvest (varieties and plots are vinified separately). Classic Bordeaux vinification: destemming, fermentation between 25 and 30°. Maceration for 3 to 4 weeks to obtain more complexity, malolactic fermentation. Aging 12 months in French oak barrels in the stone cellar of the manor.

The Domain: The lands of Reynier have always been populated and cultivated since the Celtics and Romans times. This is a land of strong positive energies. At the 12th century the monk’s soldiers that belonged to the Templars, built a church and some facilities in the forest around the village of Reynier and started to cultivate grains and grow vines. The property was bought in1901 by the Lurton family, the largest wine Dynasty in the world. Chateau Reynier was one of the first estate acquired by the family. Since 1996, Marc Lurton, Oenologist from Bordeaux University and international wine consultant, runs the estate with his wife Agnes and was recently joined by his daughter Pauline, the 6 generation of the family.
