Château Le Fagé, Bergerac - Cuvée Prestige 2019
(€18.53 L)
Spicy on the nose, red fruits, fine vanilla note; with beef.
Winemaker and vinery: Heir to 8 generations of winemakers, Benoȋt Gérardin has been running this great estate on the northern slope of Monbazillac since 2012. Château le Fagé is known for producing noble and sweet wines of superior quality, but its range also includes excellent red and rosé wines! Château le Fagé has a tradition of over 250 years. However, each generation adds its own characteristic to the wine. Respect for the past and the soil as well as quality are the main concerns of the Gérardin family.
Tasting: Beautiful deep purple colour, full, intense and brilliant. The nose is spicy, red fruit marmalade style, with a subtle vanilla note. On the palate, the attack is frank, rich and extremely smooth. The melted and harmonious tannins leave a nice round finish.
Service: This fleshy wine will go well with game, dishes in wine sauce, cheeses with character. Perfect with beef for the first three years, then with veal and lamb when the tannins have melted. Serve between 16 and 18°C, after decanting for two hours. Very good ageing potential, up to 9 years.
