Clos Marsalette Rouge - Pessac-Léognan - Red - 2020 :

 

A Jewel of Pessac-Léognan: Crafted by the Neipperg Family

Clos Marsalette Rouge embodies the quintessential elegance of a Pessac-Léognan. Under the meticulous stewardship of Vignobles Comtes von Neipperg, this wine benefits from the same world-class winemaking philosophy as its Grand Cru Classé counterparts, offering remarkable quality and finesse.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, lustrous garnet hue.
• Aroma: An expressive bouquet of concentrated dark fruits, including blackcurrant and plum, beautifully intertwined with nuances of cigar box, fine oak, and the subtle, earthy notes characteristic of Graves gravel.
• Taste: Smooth on the entry, the wine builds to a balanced and layered mid-palate. Silky tannins provide excellent structure and mouthfeel. It finishes long and clean, showcasing the appellation's signature harmony and poise.

Food Match & Serving

Serve this elegant Bordeaux at cellar temperature (16-18°C). We recommend decanting this wine for an hour before service to allow its full potential to unfurl.

• A sublime match for Slow-Cooked Braised Lamb Shanks, Traditional Roast Beef, or a rich Game Pie.
