Chateau Les Reuilles 2019 Bordeaux

Chateau Les Reuilles has been owned by the same family since 1930. Since 1992, it has been run by Patrick Todesco who has grown the property, updated the winery and winemaking techniques and greatly improved the quality of the estate's wines. The vineyards are located within the Lot-et-Garonne region and are on limestone, chalk and clay soils.

The grape juice is macerated and fermented in stainless steel vats with the focus being on keeping the primary fruit aromas and tastes. There is also some micro-oxygenation carried out, which helps to soften the tannins, to stabilize the color and to accentuate the complexity of the wine. The final stage is the ageing, which takes place in underground concrete vats.

Sumptuous perfume of very voluptuous ripe black fruits. Quite soft on the palate but with sufficient freshness too. Not especially dense. But it offers masses of pleasure per penny while not deviating from the model of good solid Bordeaux. Very rich for the money.
