Castle Tertre de Caussan

Flagship of the property, this wine is a blend of almost all our plots. Merlot is the majority here due to our very clay-limestone terroir. Very accessible, it is a Médoc all in fruit and roundness, with small fine tannins which come to make salivate at the end of the mouth. Lots of freshness, there are notes of raspberry, black cherry, wild strawberry, a little smoky and minty side. No new wood to preserve a maximum of fruit.
