Private Réserve Médoc

Private Réserve Médoc is made from a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, the classic grape variety for the appellation, giving the wine a full-bodied character and deep ruby colour.
The product of rigorous selection, Private Réserve is subject to strict quality requirements and is aged according to the tradition of the great wines of Bordeaux.

2016 has been a remarkable vintage in the Bordeaux region, reminiscent of the legendary 1990 in terms of both quantity and quality! It was, however, a difficult year for winegrowers, with a very wet start to the growth cycle (800 mm of rain over the first six months of the year), a very dry period from 1 July to 13 September, and finally localized thunderstorms and a beautiful Indian summer that enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The wines are rich, smooth and fruity, with tannins of a rarely obtained maturity and very deep colours. The left bank and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have produced the vintage’s most successful wines.
