Château La Prade
Francs, Côtes de Bordeaux
Primeur
0,75
Red
The 2023 vintage is a little different from the La Prade that we know because of the arrival of the Massale selection of Merlot from Pavie-Macquin and Pomerol in the blend which is 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc. The wine has a bright dark crimson colour, is rich and glossy with dark black fruit character, is soft and velvety on the attack with good rich, generous texture which is lifted by the Cabernet Franc and put into relief by the richness of the Merlots. On the finish there is good enduring fruity freshness. This should age well. Very attractive.
