Château Thénac 2013

Еhe Saint Julien from the pen of Château du Glana from Bordeaux offers a bright purple color in the swirled glass. At the edge also shows a color transition to garnet red. The first nose of Saint Julien shows of blackberries, black currants and blueberries. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by cinnamon, black tea and gingerbread spice. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a true quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Frenchman naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. On the tongue, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. In the finish, this well storable red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of black currant and blueberry.

Producer PHILIPPE FERRIER Moulis-en-Médoc is nestled on the Left Bank, between the cru appellations of Margaux and Saint-Julien. This lesser-known vineyard area, grown on similar soils of gravel and limestone over deeper clays and silt, can offer great value. The Château Duplessis 2018 vintage has attractive fresh and baked fruit aromas with earthy, spicy undertones. The palate has good depth, brisk acidity, well integrated oak flavours and bold tannins
