2015 Chateau Nouret

Description

ABOUT THE WINEA 21-hectare estate purchased by the current owners in 2012. Extensive investment in the winemaking facilities and vineyards has seen considerable improvements in the quality of the wines produced. An estate on the rise.TASTING NOTESBlackcurrant, blueberry, toast and leather, with a fresh, accessible palate and impressive structure. 12 months in oak, 30% of which is new oak, providing additional complexity and a plush refined mouthfeel. FOOD PAIRINGTry it with a juicy burger or beef stroganoff.FRIARWOOD SAYSThe more exposed terroir of Bas Medoc (‘lower’ Medoc) receives a greater amount of Atlantic weather than appellations further up the Gironde estuary; successful viticulture in this mild, humid climate is often very dependent on vintage-conditions. The warm 2015 vintage, excellent throughout Bordeaux, provided ideal conditions for this wine.
