This wine is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Cinsault. These grapes are perfectly balanced and grow in a wonderful climate. The bunches enjoy ample sunshine, but also the cool breeze. This creates the perfect mix of warmth and coolness, allowing for a top-notch harvest. Once harvested, the bunches are thoroughly sorted at Monteclain, and only the usable bunches are used in this red wine. After a short aging period in the Monteclain cellars, this red wine is ready to drink.
Pouring, we see a beautiful light red color with a purple sheen. We swirl the glass, and it gives our nose a wonderful sensation. Beautiful aromas of ripe forest fruits like blackberries and currants, accompanied by a touch of spice. The palate is soft and rounded, with a fair amount of ripe red and black fruit. The palate is pampered with soft flavors of berries and some plums, completing this red Monteclain.
