Château La Tour de Bessan 2014

2014 Margaux from Bordeaux.

At Chateau La Tour de Bessan, the harvest started on September 22 and ended on October 10th in excellent climatic conditions: a sumptuous Indian summer occurred. According to Marie-Laure Lurton, the proprietor: " 2014 is the ultimate vintage year full of promises: ripped fruits, elegance, fleshy tannins, a good finish. It sounds like the right note!” Although the late Cabernet Sauvignon were great, the property made the clever choice by putting a majority of Merlot in the blend. Indeed, the wine is 54% Merlot against 46% Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a floral Margaux, expressive on red berry, seductive with a refreshing sappy structure and a serious wine density on the palate.
