Our first wine - Chateau de Carles
Fronsacs can some times be the ugly ducklings of the right bank. With lots of
Cabernet and Malbec in its vineyards, and old-school methods in its cellars,
the AOC, produced rough and rustic wines however it's just starting to hit it
straps producing much more powerful merlot dominant wines.
The 2004 Chateau de Carles is deep, dark, smooth, richly fruited, and very polished in the glass. After decanting you see the wines true colours of earth and extra "funk" alongside a set of very ripe tannins. Its flavours are broader, more Merlot oriented than Cabernet franc (with touches of malbec).
