Chateau Hyot, Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon 2015

Merlot 70%
Cabernet Franc 20%
Cabernet Sauvignon 10%

Located to the west of Castillon-la-Bataille, this vineyard is close in geography and style to Saint-Émilion. It delivers a rich texture from the ripe Merlot as well as generous, warm berry fruits. At the same time, the wine has a light touch of acidity and a crisp aftertaste. Drink this poised wine from 2021.

Great with beef, lamb, a mushroom fricassee and cheeses such as cantal and comte.
