WINE DESCRIPTION
Château La Plaige, a family-owned estate on a hillside overlooking the Dordogne River in the Bordeaux appellation, benefits from a mix of clay and limestone soils that enhance the wine's power and elegance. The winemaking process involves fermenting the grapes in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by post-fermentation maceration and malolactic fermentation in tank. The wine then ages for several months in cement tanks. On the palate, it is slightly grippy and fruit-driven, offering soft tannins and juicy black fruits. Fresh and lightly spicy, it is an easy, open wine with a rich and elegant profile, ready to drink and reflecting the exceptional terroir of the estate.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château La Plaige Bordeaux Supérieur showcases a medium-deep red color in the glass.Its nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of cedar, complemented by subtle vanilla and spice notes that add complexity. On the palate, the wine presents a medium to full body with well-integrated tannins, balancing fruitiness with structure. Flavors of blackcurrants, plums, and a touch of tobacco are enriched by a subtle smoky undertone. The finish is fresh and well-balanced, making this wine a versatile choice that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews, suitable for both casual and special occasions.
