Château Clos des Abbesses 2018
$89.95
- 80% Merlot
- 20% Cabernet Franc
- Case of six bottles
An elegant wine with notes of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, complemented by hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a long, lingering finish. Will age nicely for another 3 to 5 years but can be enjoyed now.
Description
The Fanara family took over this historic chateau and produced their first vintage in 2016. Careful vineyard management based on a sustainable approach has revealed the quality of the Saint. Emilion terroir. Saint Emilion is one of the crown jewels of Bordeaux with famous names like Ausone and Cheval Blanc but is studded with lesser-known small producers producing exciting wines that are among the best values from Bordeaux. Clos des Abbesses is an emerging star in this rare firmament.
