Château la Cardonne - Médoc - Red - 2010

The 2010 Red Medoc is evolving perfectly and is now showing great elegance and style.

Intense garnet red with purple reflections.

Nose:

Fine and expressive with beautiful aromas of black fruits, blueberry and black currant underlined by subtle spices.

Palate:

Generous and full-bodied, this cuvée delivers a silky texture with smooth, well-integrated tannins. Its balanced and harmonious structure is complemented by vibrant, well-controlled freshness.

Temperature:

Serve at 16 to 18°C.

Braised beef filet, lamb and almond tagine, pheasant salmis, roast venison.

Cellar aging:

Until 2025 and more for enthusiasts
