Château Goumin Red
Located on a slope facing due south, Château Goumin has a splendid terroir. Grown on clay-limestone soil, the vines produce red wines with the Bordeaux appellation. These are pleasant and have a velvety texture. Then can be enjoyed young, but also age very well.

Tasting Comment
Appearance
Goumin produces excellent wines every year. The 2011 has an attractive, dark, ruby-red colour.
Nose
The subtle bouquet needs a little aeration to reveal intense fruity and spicy aromas.
Mouth
The wine starts out smooth and round on the palate, going on to show good structure thanks to tannin that is already smooth and well-integrated.
