CHATEAU MACALAN

AOC BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR

The CHATEAU MACALAN is an AOC BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR (dry red wine) with dominant of Merlot and an important part of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A small yield and a careful thinning out the leaves permit the harvest of a ripe aromatic grape with excellent tannins.
A vinification at the edge of technology and an ageing in high quality French oak barrels give this wine all its characteristics: a nice dark colour with red fruit aromas, vanilla and tobacco notes, a round mouth and a very good ageing potential.

2 Stars to Hachette Guide 2004 : « Venu d’un petit cru situé dans le nord de l’appellation, ce vin sait se présente dans une belle robe rouge sombre à reflets violets. Les promesses de garde qu’elle annonce sont confirmées par la structure du palais. Tannique en même temps que fin, fruité et épicé, celui-ci prolonge l’élégance du nez, affichant un parfait mariage du vin (le fruit) et de la barrique. »
