label of 2019 Château Tour de Ségur red

Wine style

Soft and Sensual

Grape blend

Merlot 65% / Cabernet Franc 30% / Cabernet Sauvignon 5%

2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.

Tasting Comment

Appearance

Cherry red colour, medium intensity.

Nose

The nose, of a beautiful intensity, reveals gourmand notes of ripe fruits enhanced by some vanilla notes. The whole is particularly pleasant.

Mouth

The palate offers a nice sweetness on the attack. It is a moderately powerful wine, well-balanced, with immediate drinkability. The lightness of this gourmet Tour de Ségur can be appreciated with duck sauerkraut, roast beef with vegetables or even quail stuffed with mushrooms.
