Comment

Located in France 40km north of Bordeaux, in the heart of the Côtes de Bourg appellation, Agnès and Christophe Havart have been producing their red wines since 2016, perpetuating a family tradition of more than 6 generations of winegrowers. Their property extends over a little more than 40 hectares, including more than 6 for Château Bidou on 100% clay-limestone terroir. Cold pre-fermentation maceration, then fermentation in thermo-regulated vats, with gentle vatting for approximately 3 weeks. Regular pumping over to extract maximum aromas, then aging in stainless steel vats.

Tasting

A beautiful garnet color with a nose of black fruits that invites tasting. On the palate the attack is centered on small black fruit, blackcurrant berry and blackberry. The tannins are friendly and well blended for a finish which gives way to the generosity of the fruit.
