Chateau Bernadotte 2009 Bordeaux Red Blends from Medoc, Bordeaux, France Winemaker's Notes Chteau Bernadotte is a wine endowed with a solid tannic structure, well rounded. It is a rich, charming wine, delicate and full-bodied with delicious aromas of fresh red fruit. Chateau Bernadotte Winery Château Bernadotte sits on fine, gravelly soil that formerly had the right to the Pauillac appellation and formed part of a Cru Classé. The property was purchased in 1996 by Madame Lencquesaing, who also owns Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse-de-Lalande, and has experienced a rise in quality under her ownership.
Int'l Wine Cellar-Bordeaux, France - Redcurrant, mocha and cedary, smoky oak on the ripe nose, with a hint of peppery lift. Lush, ripe and concentrated, offering a dense, thick texture and a hint of salty herbs. Nicely subtle and perfumed in the mouth. Finishes with suave tannins and sneaky length. (Concentrated, Raspberry, Fruity, Medium-bodied)
