Chateau Hannetot 2016

The 2016 Château Hannetot is a refined Pessac-Léognan with aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, licorice, crushed stone, cedar, and dark chocolate. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and elegant structure create a balanced, medium to full-bodied palate with a long, polished finish and excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, aged Comté, or herb-roasted vegetables.

The plum and sweet-tobacco aromas are very pretty here. Some candied cherry, too. Medium- to full-bodied, integrated tannins and a delicious finish. A blend of 56 per cent Merlot, 26 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 18 per cent Cabernet Franc. Try after 2022.
