La Raison d’Hêtre Côtes de Bordeaux Gouveio made all the more remarkableGraceful, pure and quietly expressive, it opens with red plum, wild raspberry and black cherry, lifted by subtle notes of violet, graphite and fresh herbs. The palate is mediumbodied and finely textured, showing a vibrant line of juicy red fruit, gentle spice, and a clean, limestonedriven mineral edge. Tannins are silky and beautifully integrated, giving a long, savoury, elegant finish. A refined and energetic Castillon expression with real charm.
