ABOUT THIS WINE
With less than a fortnight till Christmas, there can be no better time to stock up on one of this year’s truly great claret discoveries – the 2016 Château Poitevin, Cru Bourgeois, Médoc. Our customers have certainly discovered it. It's why they continue to come back for more. Back for more layers of dark-berry fruit, more supple tannins, more creamy texture and touches of toasty vanilla oak. For more of an utterly classic Médoc experience.
One which has always been so authentic, so authentically expressive, that the estate was promoted to ‘Cru Bourgeois Supérieur’ status in 2018. And this now-mature 2016 confirms why. So, make this experience yours this Christmas by ordering a case or two of 2016 Château Poitevin today.
Tasting Note
This is a claret with so much to say. One with the presence and intensity we look for in the fine 2016 vintage, yet still in a very open, accessible style: powerful without the hard edge, juicy, plump with velvety tannins. An expressive, perfumed nose giving warm blackberry and cherry fruit. Subtle notes of fine tobacco, roasted coffee and exotic spice gradually emerge in luscious, supple cuvée that is elegant and nicely poised. Here, a lovely combination on the palate of exuberant black fruit, creamy texture with a touch of toasty vanilla oak.
