About Château Haut-Rieuflaget 2018 'Cuvee Prestige' Bordeaux Supérieur
The Petit Family have been winemakers from father to son (and daughter) since 1890, always based in the beautiful terroir of Entre-deux-Mers. Jean-Dominique Petit, the winemaker, has over the years, expanded the family property, which today reaches 70 ha. All parcels are raised on well-reasoned farming methods, using 100% natural based fertilizers (bird’s guano, fowl’s guano and foliar fertilizer based on trace elements). In order to materialize those passed decades of sustainable commitment, they have decided to ask for a HEV (High Environmental Value) certification.
Winemaker notes:
Chateau Haut-Rieuflaget 2018 has dark red ruby reflections with wonderful aromas of black fruits. Well-ripe Merlots are the source of this wines rich and intense nose of crushed strawberries and sweet spices. Aeration completes the bouquet with more complex notes of blackberry and chocolate. Dense and structured, the palate is perfectly supported by silky and integrated tannins which stretch out the finish. A tasty Bordeaux, which can be forgotten in the cellar for a few years. Enjoy with tapas, charcuterie, white and red meat, and cheeses.
80% Merlot - 15% Cabernet Sauvignon - 5% Cabernet Franc

The 2018 Bordeaux Superieur 'Cuvee Prestige' opens to inviting aromas of cherries and blackberries followed by tobacco, spices, wet stones and hints of toast. Medium-bodied with fine tannins leading to the finish where cherries, tobacco and mineral notes linger. Accessible now, with some short-term ageing potential.
