YEAR OF VINTAGE

WINE TYPE: Red

BOTTLE SIZE: 750 ml

Sommelier's Notes

The nose of this wine is charming with aromas of very ripe red fruit (especially on strawberries), sweet spices, a very discreet oak and a slight hint of vanilla.

The mouth is well structured with well-structured and woven tannins as well as fairly high acidity. In fact, we feel a certain power with a volume and a beautiful amplitude. The fairly intense flavours of black fruit, liquorice and woody notes are prolonged in a beautiful persistence.


Winery: Les Hauts de Tousqiron


It was in 2006 that Laurent and Catherine Beuvin acquired the 10 ha estate.


The vines are located in the communes of JAU-DIGNAC -LOIRAC in the northern part of the Médoc, near the place known as "Tousquiron". These are 10 Hectares of vines in one piece, on a high hill and separated only by the passage of a small road.



The vines have been completely replanted since 1974 and therefore arrive at full maturity. They are planted on quaternary gravels therefore mixing these stones with particularly draining sand, especially in the lower parts.



“Les HAUTS DE TOUSQUIRON” is a micro-cuvée produced from very qualitative plots of a Château Cru Bourgeois located north of the Médoc in JAU-DIGNAC. 



Age of the vine: 29 years.


Aging potential : Pleasant quickly, 3 years after the harvest Potential : 5 to 10 years.


Culinary Recommendation : To serve at 18° C. Good match with meat, poultry.
