Baron Phillipe de Rothschild Cabernet Sauvignon Vin de Pays D'Oc

Wine information: In the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, Baron Philippe de Rothschild's winemakers have selected the areas with the best soil and climate for growing the Pinot Noir grape. In the region around Limoux in particular, offering a patchwork of micro-terroirs, they have chosen the highest quality parcels from their growers' vineyards. All year round, each selected parcel is individually and permanently monitored by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild team. In order to obtain highly aromatic and expressive wines, the grapes are picked at full maturity. The wines from each parcel are vinified separately before final blending. The wines are matured on fine lees in vats for six months then quickly bottled at BPDR's Saint-Laurent-Médoc winery in order to preserve all their freshness and fruit.

Tasting Notes: Colour: Ruby red with a violet tint. Nose: The nose offers a complex mixture of jammy fruit aromas (blackcurrant, cherry, bilberry) with a hint of smoke and spice. Palate: From a fresh and fruity attack the wine develops a powerful and creamy body with nicely forward tannins and a long, harmonious finish that ends on ripe black fruit flavours.
