Red Blend

The 2019 Chateau Musar is a dark and broody wine showing complex blueberry and blackcurrant fruit mingled with black olives and a touch of clove on the nose.  These flavours follow through on the palate and are joined by cherries, plums and spice with notes of black pepper.  Well-balanced and approachable now, but as with all Musar releases, this will continue to age gracefully for many years to come.

2019 Chateau Saransot-Dupre, Cru Bourgeois Superieur Listrac

Bordeaux Blend
