Chateau La Vieille Cure 2021

Château La Vieille Cure is a distinguished Fronsac with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, ripe plum, violet, cocoa, cedar, and subtle baking spices. Velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and concentrated Merlot fruit create a rich, elegant palate with remarkable balance, depth, and excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, beef Wellington, duck breast, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or truffle-infused dishes.

Red berry fruit on the nose, with nutmeg, cardamom and bark notes, too. Fresh and spicy on the palate with a medium body, bright acidity and fine, elegant tannins. Drink from 2024.
