Château les MoinesMédoc 2016

The wine is full bodied with ample tannins and a lengthy finish. Blueberry comes through in the mid palate and sour cherries come through in the finish. The lengthy finish is a big plus. This wine will age for at least another 5 years.

Chateau les Moines Description

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon & 30% Merlot. Fruity and ripe on the nose. On the palate this wine expresses notes of griotte, crushed/ripe cassis and more slightly very ripe plum associated with a touch of red fruits as well as hints of liquorice.

Médoc wines tend to be ruby in color, balanced and well-rounded on the palate with notes of cassis, cherries and earth, with firm tannins.

While most Bordeaux wines require aging, those labeled simply ‘Médoc’ tend to be lighter in style and more approachable in their youth.

Grown on gravel rich soils in the Left Bank of Bordeaux, wines from the Médoc are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends, but sometimes see the addition of Petit Verdot and Malbec.
