Harmony of flavours
THE VINTAGE
2015 is recognised as a very fine vintage in Bordeaux, with a dry and hot start to the year followed by a cool end to the summer. The harvest was particularly homogenous and ripe. The quality of the grapes in the barrel was such that we were able to vinify and mature the wine in all simplicity, and thus produce a harmonious wine with a beautiful tannic and aromatic balance.
THE TASTING
The wine is a delicacy. It offers a dense and silky tannic structure, aromas of ripe red fruits (wild strawberry, cherry, raspberry), woody notes (fresh tobacco, clove, cocoa bean) and minerality.
« The 2015 Château Taillefer has a tightly wound bouquet, perhaps not quite as expressive as its peers at this early stage – though it opens nicely in the glass and reveals a hidden mineral core of fruit. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry, fine tannins here, linear and focuses with a very refined and poised finish that leaves you wanting. »

For a good tasting, we recommend decanting the wine or opening the bottle 4 hours before the meal, and serving it « chambré », i.e. between 18 and 19° C.
Château Taillefer 2015 will go well with the great classics of a family Sunday: roast chicken, veal brochettes or roast beef. It will also be enjoyed with a selection of French charcuteries and cheeses.
