Château de La Dauphine 2016
A harmonious, generous wine, characterized, like Château de La Dauphine itself, by elegance and complexity.
Produced with the vines that grow on the hillsides, this wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels with 30% renewed each year, and has a substantial capacity to improve further with age.
The color is an intensely deep purple. The nose, open, expresses a lovely fruit, mainly wild strawberries and ripe morello cherries. The palate is ample, delicious and smooth with notes of fruit and spices on the length. The wine has a beautiful body which promises a very nice evolution given the potential of the vintage.
