Once in the winery the wine aged in oak barrels between 12 to 18 months and this has produced a deep red wine with plenty of rich, black fruit flavours that are evident in the bouquet and on the palate, while the oak is evident through to the long enjoyable finish.

Chateau Coutelin Merville Cru Bourgeois Saint Estephe
Description: Bernard and Francois Estager's property is situated on the highest point in Saint-Estèphe next to Chateau Haut-Marbuzet and Tour de Pez. The terroir is typically limestone-clay. A very hands-on approach in the vineyard includes green harvesting, leaf and bunch thinning to allow better circulation of air and manual harvest parcel by parcel when the grapes have reached maturity. The vinification in cement tanks is traditional with a long maceration and daily pumping over; thereafter the wine is aged in barriques for twelve to eighteen months. The blend is quite unusual with a high proportion of Cabernet Franc giving compelling fragrance to the wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Talbot 4eme Cru Classe Saint Julien
Description: Chateau Talbot is one of the most ancient estates in the Medoc, and has fortunately passed from one competent manager to another over the centuries, and is fully worthy of its classification in 1855 as a great growth. This impressive estate owes its name to Connetable Talbot, Commander in Chief of the English Army and hero of the Battle of Castillon in 1453. Chateau Talbot is in an ideal location, a short distance from the Gironde Estuary, where the vines grow in fine gravelly rises. The Cordier family has owned Talbot since the early 1900's and several generations of the family have shown their deep understanding of the importance of quality. As a result of htis taditional methods are used along with the most modern ones, combining to make wines which are different every year but unfailingly well-balanced and complex. The 1996 vintage has a nose of cedary fruit with a pronounced mineral edge. The palate is well balanced with some savoury tannic structure on the finish. (12 x 75 cl)
