Château du Retout Haut Médoc 2016 0,75l
Château du Retout is a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur estate in the Haut-Médoc, set on one of the highest points of Cussac-Fort-Médoc. Its contiguous vineyards rest on well-drained gravel soils over clay and limestone and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a significant share of Petit Verdot. Careful picking and ageing in barriques give the wine structure and depth. The bouquet reveals blackcurrant, dark cherry and violet with spicy and slightly mineral undertones. On the palate Château du Retout is full-bodied and dense yet refined, with ripe, assertive tannins and a long, characterful finish.
Twelve months in French oak shape the powerful Cabernet structure, adding spice and depth.
