The privilege of Château Dauzac is in its 49 hectares of vineyards across the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellation. Protected from ocean winds by the 70 hectares of forests surrounding them, the vines grow in a layer of gravelly soil with a sub-soil of clay and chalk underneath. We find around 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and a few Petit Verdot vines. The harvests are carried out by hand in order to respect the integrity of the fruit. Each parcel is vinified separately with very gentle extractions. In 2016, Château Dauzac was the first of the 1855 grands crus classés to produce a vegan wine with the use of plant protein instead of egg white during the clarification process. The wines are matured for 12 to 18 months in casks (60% new). It has a strong, crimson colour and a delicious bouquet that blends black fruits and spices. On the palate, it is dense and particularly rich. The tannins will need a few years to soften. This is a fine, cellaring wine.
Attention grabbing aromatics of flowers, black and red plums, cassis, smoke and licorice.the wine opens with coffee bean, fresh blackberries, plums and floral aromas. Round, soft and concentrated, this fun to taste,
