Château Guibon Red
Nestled on one of the numerous slopes in the Entre-Deux-Mers, just a short distance from the famous medieval town of Saint-Emilion, Château Guibon has a very long history. The monks at the neighbouring abbey of La Sauve Majeure are known to have made wine on clay-limestone terroir here in the 17th century. This was already much appreciated by connoisseurs. The reds are full-bodied and vigorous, and become smoother 2 or 3 years after the vintage.
Wine style
Soft and Sensual
Grape blend
Cabernet Sauvignon 50% / Merlot 50%.
Weather
Spring was very trying, with considerable rainfall leading to fungal diseases of all sorts. This called for very close attention in the vines until the 14th of July, when the weather changed durably for the better.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
This wine has a deep, attractive, black cherry colour.
Nose
The bouquet is particularly elegant.
Mouth
It is quite balanced on the palate and enjoyable as of now with delicatessen meats, duck, cheeses, etc.
