CHATEAU GREYSAC

Tasting notes:

The nose is aromatic, elegant and displays finess, fine depth and harmony. We find notes of bourbon vanilla, blackberry and more slightly raspberry associated with hints of blueberry, liquorice, a fine touch of blueberry as well as points of racy minerality, nutmeg and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, mineral, balanced and offers freshness, an acidic frame, a nice fineness of grain as well as harmony, a little tension and greediness.

About the producer:

The vineyard of Château Greysac extends over the Hameau de By, a situation which makes it one of the most northerly Médocs of this wine peninsula, since it is situated at the confluence of the estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. The vineyard is managed with the greatest care and is of impeccable standard. As soon as he acquired Château Greysac in 2012, Jean Guyon instituted a sustainable farming. Composed of rolled pebbles from the quaternary period on a limestone and clay subsoil, the vines are about 40 years old.

The Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grape varieties produce a great wine, elegant and remarkably well structured, with fruity, ample and voluptuous aromas. In the cellar, it is with the aim of revealing the fruit in its most beautiful expression that the vinification is carried out, from its arrival in the fermentation vats to its passage in the ageing barrels for 12 months.

Food match:

Ideal served at 18C with grilled red meats, lamb chop with rosemary, white truffle pizza, roasted cauliflower with curry, grilled chicken and even tuna sushi.
