Wine Description

The Moulin du Chateau La Lagune 2019 is a red Bordeaux blend that typically favours Merlot, contributing to its early approachability. It presents a beautiful, clear ruby colour. The nose is intense, combining fragrances of red and black fruits, like cassis, black cherry, and blackberry, with hints of violet and cedarwood. On the palate, the wine is elegant, fresh, and medium-bodied with smooth, well-integrated, round tannins. Flavours echo the aromas, showing fresh blue and black fruits, black pepper, and mint, leading to an elegant, persistent, and refreshing finish.
