Chateau Croizet-Bages Alies Pauillac 2016

Red ABV 13% 750ml Taste Profile Second Wines, Bordeaux Subtle and elegant, this Second wine from Château Croizet Bages, 5ème Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, is mainly from young vines that will later be used to vinify the Grand Vin. With its finesse, it possesses the same precision as its elder brother. With its dark garnet color, Alias has a dazzling, gourmand nose with scents of black cherry and cedar. On the palate, the attack is frank and the tannic structure measured. The delicately woody finish with a slight tension suggests superb ageing potential. 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc Bordeaux, France AOC Pauillac Food Pairing Red Meat Poultry Hard Cheese Soft Cheese *Best suggested food pairing only.
