WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Haut Philippon is a kosher Bordeaux AOP level wine meaning the grapes can be sourced from all over the larger growing region. The wine is typically a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and showcases the approachable side of Bordeaux. After harvesting and sorting the grapes, they are crushed and fermentation occurs in inert vessels prior to a short period of maturation designed to round out the mouthfeel.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Haut Philippon Bordeaux displays a combination of fresh red and black fruit aromas of blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of tobacco and vegetal undertones.The palate mirrors the nose, complemented by additional notes of blackcurrant and a hint of capsicum. The wine has a medium to full body and unobtrusive tannins that gently frame the fruit provide a supple mouthfeel. The wine's well-integrated acidity adds freshness marking the moderate length finish.
