Tasting notes
Symbol of a time when the arts of the Kingdom of France were at their peak, this wine "Les Amants Magnifiques" refers to the Molière's comedy, contemporary of the founder of the Château: Jean François de La Chaize d'Aix.
Commented by Olivier Poussier:
Color : A dark ruby with purple reflections.
Nose : The nose is open on black and red fruits. The level is good but suffers a little more from the solar side. A sweeter and more stewed tone defines the fruit which reveals itself like a coulis. The graphite presence is lighter, the wine is more based on the generosity of the fruits.
Palate : The palate is rich, opulent, with a full and pulpy heart. The whole is unifying with well-coated tannins. At this stage of youth, the quality of the fruit quenches the thirst.
Service temperature : 57°F
