The estate was known as Château Fournas until 1997 when it was purchased by May Eliane de Lencquesaing, then-owner of Chateau Pichon Lalande\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in Pauillac. In 2007 Champagne Roederer took a \u003c\/span\u003emajor control of both properties and sold Bernadotte in 2012. The 2009 vintage was excellent for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. 75cl bottle.

Barnyard on the nose, with leather and blackberry. Grippy, fine tannins dominate the initial attack on the palate, but the dark fruit is immediately apparent, along with some pleasing acidity. By the third mouthful, I developed an appreciation of the style. Medium short finish, carried mainly by the tannins. I wonder if it would still benefit from a few more years to soften further. Still drinking well 2 days later after leaving at room temp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens next\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bottle will be carefully hand-packed in our mail-safe wine boxes to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
