Chateau des Moines Prestige
Tasting notes
Vintage 2020 :
This deep garnet-colored wine has a rich, opulent fruitiness on the nose, enhanced by fine roasted and spicy notes. On the palate, a velvety texture of well-concentrated black fruits, subtly toasted, lightly vanilla-flavored and enhanced by elegant tannins.
A well-balanced, gourmet cuvée. Long finish, good aromatic persistence and excellent ageing potential.
Vintage 2019 :
This elegant wine, with its bright, dark garnet color, has a dense nose of black fruit and mellow oak. Full-bodied, fleshy, fruity (bigarreau cherry) on the palate, supported by well-coated tannins. This cuvée is generous and concentrated, delicately toasted, revealing a structure that gives it character.
The finish is long, fresh and velvety. This vintage, with its expressive aromatic palette, offers excellent ageing potential.
