Chateau de Ricaud Rouge, -
Description
'This is exceptional. Blackcurrants and spices with medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. 66 per cent cabernet sauvignon, the rest merlot with a touch of cabernet franc.' James Suckling
It's extremely rare for heart and mind to rule together, and Château de Ricaud, near Cadillac in southern Bordeaux, is the exception. When Alain Thiénot bought the property in 1980, he was utterly convinced that quite apart from the splendour of the site, Château de Ricaud was a rough diamond set in a unique natural setting in the Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. Time and essentially work carried out in the vineyards by skilled craftsmen in recent years, resulted in 2010 in the creation of a true jewel of a wine - the Grand Vin de Château de Ricaud - a fine wine prized for its elegant character and pedigree, its concentration and extremely fine tannins.
