Château d'Agassac – Haut-Médoc – Red – 2022:

 

Château d’Agassac: The Exceptional Value of Haut-Médoc

As a ‘Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel,’ Château d’Agassac represents the pinnacle of quality and value from Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Located in Ludon-Médoc, this estate-with its picturesque medieval fortress-produces a wine that is both classically structured and immediately appealing. The blend, typically rich in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, thrives on the deep, well-drained Garonne gravel soils.

Tasting Profile & Experience

This red wine pours a deep, intense garnet color. The nose is complex and inviting, featuring pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark plum, layered with signature notes of cedar, licorice, and a whisper of mint. Barrel aging lends a polished texture and subtle hints of vanilla and toasted spice. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, yet elegant experience. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, providing excellent structure and a long, focused finish that promises significant aging potential. This is a must-have for any serious collector.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

• Serving Temperature: 60-64°F (16-18°C).
• Decanting: Highly recommended. Decant for 60-90 minutes, especially for younger vintages.
• The Perfect Match: Designed to stand up to rich, savory dishes like a premium grilled ribeye or a hearty beef stew.
