Wine Labastide Dauzac AOC Margaux 2019

Before tasting Labastide Dauzac Margaux AOC wine, we suggest aerating the bottle. This will allow you to perceive its complex bouquet. Grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals are hand-harvested into small crates and sorted on tables after picking. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with a patented crushing system. The wine is then aged for 18 months.

The deep, purple-red color expresses a subtle balance of a combination of fruit, flowers and spice with a complex body and tannins that together provide a unique taste experience. The nose is fruity and full of spice. On the palate, the wine strikes a subtle balance between the richness of the tannins and the aromatic diversity of the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates with its complexity, elegance and minerality, while Merlot adds roundness and silkiness.

It pairs perfectly with beef, lamb, game and poultry. Labastide Dauzac Margaux AOC would make an excellent gift, as it is in a class of its own. A wine with aging potential.
