Château Branas Grand Poujeaux
Situated in the esteemed Saint-Émilion appellation, Château Haut-Brisson has been producing exceptional wines since the 19th century. The 2018 vintage is a testament to the estate's commitment to quality and tradition. Composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine is aged for 15 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, imparting complexity and structure. The result is a wine with a deep garnet hue, exuding aromas of ripe black fruits, licorice, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied profile with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish that hints at cocoa and spice. This vintage is poised for aging, promising further development and refinement over the next decade.
