Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020 375mls
The Wine
Comprising 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, primarily from the younger vines and denser clay plots of Château Lescalle (terre fort translates to 'strong earth'), this blend yields a richly fruited wine designed for earlier drinking. The grapes are destemmed and undergo fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks. The extraction process involves pump-overs once or twice daily throughout the fermentation period, which usually lasts 3 to 4 weeks, before the wine matures in tanks for 12 months.
The wine is medium-bodied and charmingly elegant, offering accessible flavors of juicy berries complemented by savory tobacco undertones. The wine represents tremdous value!
