The estate and the wine |
|
|
With its exceptional diversity of soils, stunning architectural beauty, and unique natural setting, Château de Ricaud has quickly established itself as a benchmark for the Cadillac terroir in southern Bordeaux. A model estate, it has seen a remarkable rise in quality over recent vintages, positioning it as one of the best value-for-quality producers in all of Bordeaux. |
|
| | |
|
The 2016 Grand Vin Red Côtes de Bordeaux Cadillac, composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, exudes classic elegance with flavors of ripe fruit and subtle spice. The structure is concentrated, the tannins are precise and fresh, and the aging is perfectly calibrated, with a touch of toastiness that enhances the wine’s balance and persistence. A beautifully crafted Bordeaux, ready to pair with a grilled or slow-cooked cut of fine meat. |
