Héritage – AOP Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux Red

VINTAGE 2020 Malbec • Merlot • Cabernet Sauvignon • Petit Verdot The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, slightly overripe, early in the morning to preserve their «fruity» character and full potential of expression. VINIFICATION AND AGING: Each parcel is vinified separately. A cold pre-fermentation maceration of 72 hours at 10°C is followed by an extended fermentation of 28 days at 26°C, with daily punch-downs. Malolactic fermentation is conducted rapidly, followed by early racking into Selmer barrels produced in the Garonne Valley, thus ensuring optimal balance. TASTING: The wine has a garnet robe with bright violet highlights. The nose reveals woody aromas with hints of hazelnut, toasty notes of cocoa, followed by nuances of blackcurrant and other red berries. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied with a round entry and substantial volume. The mid-palate is powerful, dense, and structured, characterized by overripe tannins, notes of blond tobacco, and eucalyptus, with exceptional persistence. This concentrated and generous wine deserves decanting.
