Chateau Les Maurinieres, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2012

Description

A Right Bank styled Bordeaux from Castillon, the 2012 vintage leans Merlot-driven, offering a softer and more approachable profile. Aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and cassis are layered with hints of cocoa, cedar, and dried herbs.

With over a decade of age, the tannins have mellowed, giving the wine a smooth, rounded texture while maintaining structure. The palate shows dark fruit framed by earthy undertones and subtle oak spice, finishing balanced and gently savory.

A well-aged, value-driven Bordeaux that delivers classic character with polish and drinkability.
