The Chateau Cote Montpezat, located in the appellation Cotes de Castillon owned by the Bessineau family since 1989. The history of the chateau goes back to the 16th century. No doubt providing great wine since. This 2010 vintage has achieved high ratings 90 or above from many reviewers. The wine is majority merlot with remaining cab franc and cab sauvignon.
The fragrance of violets and ripe red fruits slowly lofts into the room after opening. Pour the wine into the decanter and letting it sit for 30 minutes, leave the room and then come back. The aroma overtakes you as you re-enter. Starting out soft and easy then the power hits.
The mouth is coated with a soft velvety liquid. The rich-ripe fruits caress your senses. Your brain is reaching trying to distinguish all of the flavors. Besides the dark cherry notes I distinguish a certain fig too. Soft and elegant throughout. A lingering spice that makes your mouth water continuously. Concentrated and full bodied, oh the gorgeous drink.
Enjoy
