Biodynamic farmed Estate in Côtes de Bourg right bank Bordeaux appellation.
Grolet's Tête de Cuvée is an annual selection of the Estate's finest 20 barrels. The blend varies from year to year, with the '18 coming in at 90% Merlot supported by 10% Malbec, predominantly from the Estate's oldest (60- to 70-year-old) vines. Inviting aromas of dark plum and cherry, fruitcake spices such as nutmeg and clove, and some cedar aromatics. The palate takes things up a notch with a core of dark, concentrated, supple plummy fruit, nicely supported by focussed acidity and well-judged, fine-grained tannin.
