Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
Its dark brick red dress introduced a fresh and exuberant nose of black fruits, citrus peel, licorice and smoky notes. In the mouth it is balanced, honest, fine, round, full and signed by sweet spices, cinnamon, tan and cocoa. Nervous and mineral, this wine offers nice tight and wrapped dow silky tannins. Lovely wine.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Do you know ?
The name "Chateau du Bois de la Garde" refers to the most experienced soldiers of the Imperial Guard of Napoleon, the « Grognards ». Returning from combat and returning to civil status, they harnessed to work of wine by founding the foundations of this prestigious area.
