Château Nicot: A Classic, Merlot-Dominant Bordeaux AOC

The Château Nicot, a distinguished red from the Vignobles Dubourg in the Entre-Deux-Mers, is a superb example of accessible, high-quality Bordeaux. Crafted primarily from Merlot (70%) with a complement of Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), this wine offers a generous and rounded profile, making it a reliable choice for any connoisseur seeking value and authenticity in a claret.

Tasting Profile & Characteristics

• Appearance: A deep, intense ruby red with a bright sheen.
• Aroma: The nose is expressive and powerful, dominated by rich blackcurrant and cherry fruit, with elegant undertones of forest floor, spice, and a touch of cigar box complexity.
• Taste: Juicy and vibrant on the palate, the wine delivers a fine, silky mouthfeel. It is balanced with a good depth of flavor and features supple, smooth tannins that provide structure without austerity. A long, fresh finish completes this classic Bordeaux.

Serving & Food Pairings

This wine is a versatile partner for rich, savory dishes. To ensure the full expression of its aromas, it is best to decant it for approximately one hour before serving. A slight chill enhances the freshness of the fruit.

• Serving Temperature: 17-18°C (63-65°F)
• To Enjoy By: Ready now, but will hold well for up to 7 years in a cellar.
