Saint Emilion grand cru Rouge Chateau Haut Boutisse 2014 (6 x 750mL) Fr

Description:

Pomerol and St. Emilion are the two premier Bordeaux appellations on the other (right) side of the rivers from the city of Bordeaux and the glamour appellations of the Medoc; hence the term, "Right Bank." The wines are quite different from those in the Medoc; the weather and soil vary significantly, and the primary grapes used in the region are the softer merlot and cabernet franc varieties, as opposed to the firm and tannic cabernet sauvignon of the Medoc. This makes for wines that are often much more attractive in youth; however, this doesn't mean these wines lack the ability to age.

St. Emilion is a much larger appellation than the Medoc with a significant percentage of cabernet franc helping to comprise the blend. This too makes for softer, though still well-structured wines, with distinctive cedary, herbaceous, mineral-accented flavours. Increased production quantities make them easier to find, and a few bargains are to be had for the savvy consumer.

This wine is one of them.

Grape Varieties:

Cabernet Franc, Merlot

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

TASTING NOTES:

Dusty garnet colour. Aromas and flavours of caramelized figs and dark berries, pickled root vegetables and brussels sprouts, floral honeycomb, and beef bouillon with a bright, dryish medium-to-full body and an appealing, long finish manifesting accents of pomegranate tart, almond skin, earth, and roasted tomato with dusty, silky tannins and moderate oak flavour. A delightfully savory and table-tuned French red that warrants deep investigation. This is very exciting find! Chateau Haut Boutisse is a private selection of casks from Chateau Palais Cardinal in southern Saint-Emilion.

Food Pairing:

Goes with steaks barbeques, poultry, Pork cold cuts and Fine dining of all red and white meats. A special wine for a special meal and it is fabulous on its own.
