WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Grand Donnezac is a classic, approachable claret made in the Bordeaux region of France. The wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot sourced from the overarching Bordeaux designation. The winemaking process involves vinification in inert vessels before undergoing a period of maturation that focuses on creating an easy-going lighter extracted style of Bordeaux that can be enjoyed in its youth. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats, hard cheeses, and hearty stews.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Grand Donnezac Bordeaux is a medium-bodied red wine with a medium ruby color suggesting a wine of moderate extract.The nose shows a moderate level of intensity with aromas of ripe red plums and blackberry fruit coupled with hints of green bell pepper and fresh tobacco. On the palate, it is smooth and juicy, with plenty of dark berry flavors and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are well balanced and the finish is moderate in length with a pleasant savory edge.
