2016 Clos Manou, Médoc, Bordeaux

Description

The 2016 vintage is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. It is poised and elegant, brimming with blackcurrant, pencil shavings and tobacco. This is classic Claret: beautifully balanced, with fine, velvety tannins, lively acidity to balance the ripeness of the fruit, and a subtle menthol lift on the finish. This is perfect for a Sunday lunch, summer barbecue or any occasion that calls for a classy, affordable Bordeaux. Drink now to 2028.

Médoc

Médoc

The Médoc is arguably the most famous red wine district in the world, home to many of the greatest and most renowned names of Bordeaux. Stretching north-west from the city of Bordeaux with the Gironde estuary to the east, the vineyards extend up to eight miles from the river and run for about 50 miles northwards. As a rule of thumb, the greatest wines are made at those properties closest to the water.
