Chateau Carlmagnus 2019

Product description

Home of the first remarkable Right Bank wines, dating back to the 1730s, Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac retained more fame than Pomerol well into the 19th century. Today these wines represent some of Bordeaux's best-hidden gems. Fronsac is a tiny region at an unusually high elevation compared to other Bordeaux appellations. Its vineyards unroll along the oak-dotted hills bordering the river's edge, making it perhaps Bordeaux's prettiest and most majestic countryside.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The deep garnet-purple coloured 2019 Carlmagnus bursts from the glass with ripe black and blue fruit notions of plums preserves, blueberry compote and blackberry pie with hints of hoisin, licorice and clove oil plus a touch of dark chocolate. The full-bodied, rich, seductive palate is laden with spicy black fruits and a beautiful velvety texture, finishing with a peppery lift.
