“I market, says Eric Barrat, currently
Bordeaux Supérieur cuvée Louise 2016, Blaye Pont les Moines 2015,
rosé and
Sauvignon blanc 2019,
Bordeaux 2016.
In 2019, we had frost on
Château Pont Les Moines then
coulure, hence a little less harvest, then the good weather returned causing a good maturity and we spread the harvest until September 30th.
The 2019
vintage is very fresh, fruity, round, with a good balance. We have been in HVE since 2017, and in Organic since 2010. ”
You will love this superb Blaye Côtes de
Bordeaux red 2016 Organic, it is a beautiful deep red, with a persistent nose, with connotations of
humus and very ripe black berries, all with tannic
finesse, full and good structure. The 2015, pure
Merlot, with a structured mouth, a beautiful harmony, is a wine with aromas of spices and black
fruits, well balanced and generous, full of color and material, with notes of undergrowth and redcurrant on the palate, ample and melted mouth. Excellent 2014, with a strong
robe, a fleshy and oily wine, with a complex and subtle nose at the same time, dominated by Morello cherry, with a supple and very balanced tannic base.
Well done, this white
Bordeaux 2019, with a golden yellow color, it is rich on the nose, with a nice complexity of aromas where we find notes of nuts, lemon and peach. See the
Bordeaux Supérieur Château Bran de Compostelle.
