Fait Main Le Chatelet Grand Cru Classe Bordeaux Red Wine 2018

The 2018 Fait-Main Le Châtelet Vineyard (is primarily Merlot but with a small amount of Cabernet Franc) is dark ruby in color; offers plenty of aromatic power on the bouquet; we initially were hard pressed to identify this as a Bordeaux wine rather than from Napa Valley on smell alone.

Shows notes of violets, dark licorice, plum and blackberry. A subtle hint of mocha and brown chocolate are hidden deep in the bouquet. The bouquet quickly becomes more savory as the wine evolves in the glass – the aromas land on the darker fruit side of the spectrum.
