Château D’Argan 2018

12,90 

Cru Bourgeois

 

 

 

Bright appearance with a deep and intense ruby color, and purple highlights. The first nose is expressive, marked by notes of ripe fruits (raspberry and blackcurrant). The second nose confirms the fruity character supported by spicy and licorice notes. On the palate: a good attack with notes of dark fruits, an elegant structure, concentrated and complex aromas, a luscious and fleshy mouthfeel, and well-integrated oak. A beautiful, persistent balance in the mouth. The finish is enveloping, blending ripe fruits and powdery tannins.
