France, Bordeaux AOC
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot
Description
For Dourthe N°1 Red, the remarkable task of seeking out the finest terroirs is also undertaken in the extensive red Bordeaux vineyard to pinpoint exactly those areas where Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have the best chance of reaching full maturity. Forging strong partnerships with growers guarantees optimal and consistent fruit quality. The finest batches of Dourthe N°1 Red mature 12 months in new French oak barriques where the tannins from oak integrate harmoniously with those present in the wine, adding roundness, and balance. Lovely, deep ruby red appearance for the Dourthe N°1 2017.
