Cuvée Château Rioublanc

2012 - 75 cl

Description : Garnet colour. Powerful nose, fruity aromas (blackcurrant and blackberry) and spices (vanilla, pepper and liquorice). Slight notes of violet and toast. It is crisp in the mouth with attractive tannins. Remember to uncork the bottle 1 to 2 hours before the meal. Decant only if you're busy and unable to open the bottle until the last minute. 2012 is not a great vintage for Bordeaux wines. So, there's no point in leaving to age for any length of time. Serve it before 2020, if possible. enjoy this well-balanced Bordeaux with white meats (roast chicken, pork chops, blanquette de veau...)). However, grilled red meat would be just as good. As with all our organic wines, the harmony is perfect with a platter of cheeses!

CHÂTEAU RIOUBLANC

33910 Saint-Ciers-d'Abzac - Bordeaux

Château Rioublanc is a family business located around 20km from Libourne on a high clay-loam soil plateau on iron dross clay. The vineyard extends over 47 ha. The plots are planted very densely (5,000 vine stocks / ha). Careful high trellising captures the sunshine well. Combined with manual leaf stripping, it ensures regular production of healthy and ripe grapes. A diverse vine population, each adapted to the plots, with the goal of creating harmony and richness in the wines: Merlot (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Malbec (4%) for the reds and Sauvignon (68%), Sémillon (24%) and Colombard (8%) for the whites. Rioublanc has a permanent team of 10 employees.
