Comment

Founded in 1967, the Raguenot vineyards thrive thanks to the pioneering and visionary minds of Lise and Philippe Raguenot. In 1997, their two daughters Emmanuelle and Marie-Pierre associated with their respective husbands, Daren Miller and Eric Lallez, took over the vineyard of the Château des Tourtes in Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, and acquired a year later from the vineyard of Château Haut Beyzac in Haut-Médoc appellation, located on 35 hectares of the town of Vertheuil. Rich in an extraordinary geology with clay-limestone soil, it is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, the predilection grape of this terroir, Merlot and Petit Verdot. 100 %scratch. Cuvison 20 to 30 days. Temperature control. Malolactic fermentation. Wood breeding.

Tasting

Dark ruby ​​dress, very dense. Nose with notes of black fruits mixed with those grilled with wood (vanilla, toast). The powerful mouth, with a beautiful amplitude, remains structured with silky tannins giving wine a good ability to aging. Beautiful aromatic notes on the palate, macerated fruits and a balanced wooded (licorice) associated with fresh notes (cloves, menthol) give wine unequaled pleasure after a few years in the cellar. It will be much appreciated on red meats and dishes in sauce.
