Château Tour de Ségur Red 2018

Château Tour de Ségur | Red

AOC Lussac-Saint-Emilion

Présentation

Another cuvée from the Barbe Blanche estate, Château Tour de Ségur also benefits from a remarkable terroir. Crafted on the fruit, with great delicacy throughout the winemaking process, it is a charming, fresh and precise wine. Its expressive nose of ripe strawberries and red berries with a hint of vanilla, combined with its fine tannins, make it very approachable.

Dégustation

Intense, cherry red colour. Nose is particularly pleasant with notes of ripe red fruit, mixed with hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate, very pleasant balance between structure and volume, offering good drinkability. The red fruit aromas, already perceived on the nose, are found here, where they blend elegantly with some more woody notes. Beautiful tannic structure gives it a good ageing potential and it can be left to age a little longer to appreciate all its qualities.

0000-00-00

Deep red colour, young appearance. Nose is full of very ripe fruit, with hints of wood and undergrowth. On the palate, a pleasant attack, a rather melted vintage in a very mature register. It can be opened now with grilled red meat.
