Château Clarisse
Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion Vieilles Vignes 2014
Puisseguin Saint-Emilion | Red | 2014
This iconic cuvée showcases old Merlot vines, some over 70 years old, blended with Cabernet Franc and Carménère, a historic Bordeaux grape variety. The nose is expressive, marked by aromas of ripe black fruit and gentle spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is rich and generous, with a velvety texture and beautiful fruit intensity. The whole is harmonious, carried by a long and luscious finish with fruity, slightly oaky, and vanilla notes. A wine of character, with excellent aging potential, that will perfectly complement game and flavorful meats.
