Château Falfas Côtes de Bourg AOC 2019 1500ml

Appearance
The 2019 Château Falfas presents a radiant cherry colour.
Bouquet
On the nose, the fragrance announces itself with a robust raciness, an animal spiciness and a delicate hint of smoke. The fruit cocktail of wild cherries, raspberries, red currants and blackish cassis gives it an impulsive dynamism. It is wild, special and a little rough, but these characteristics give it a fascinating challenge. The mix of nuances of horse sweat and warm leather fits perfectly into this combination. Let's not forget the unusual but enchanting hint of bergamot and lavender. Wintery notes of cinnamon plum, cinnamon bark, juniper and black pepper add a subtle kick of warmth. With a little patience and fresh air, it reveals its chocolaty side, accompanied by a hint of roasted coffee beans. A cool metallic note brings an unprecedented freshness that makes it seem more radiant.
Taste
From the first sip, it confirms the expectations created in the nose. An adherent effect with leadership. A clearly presented, yet harmoniously integrated tannin. Subtle green tones. A touch of spiciness. A filigree note of graphite that brings a remarkable coolness. The engaging acidity pleasantly shapes its character. The culinary influence of deconstructed fruit gives it a long finish reminiscent of bergamot. On the palate, it puts aside all animal nuances and presents itself relaxed and harmonious. This Bordeaux wine - an example of a good drinkable wine.
Eating recommendations
Try fillet of beef with thin chips and Bearnaise sauce or braised beef neck steak with creamed cabbage, mashed potatoes and chopped roasted hazelnuts. For a lighter choice, a lukewarm buckwheat salad with artichokes and rocket is suitable.
