THE '03 CH Bernadotte is a sleeper of the vintage; possesses sumptuous perfume of roasted nuts, cedar, figs, plums, and black currants; lush, hedonistic, sensual personality. Produced on a gravel soil, the wines of the Chateau Bernadotte are endowed with a solid tannic structure. Rich in colour, full-bodied yet delicate these wines have elegance and charm and a generous bouquet. Like the classified growths of the Medoc, they come from a vineyard of sufficient size and heterogeneity to allow for a rigorous selection, the guaranty of a quality beyond reproach. With this objective, a second selection is made at the time of blending creating Chateau Fournas Bernadotte. The chateau is a dilightful residence built in 1860 and renovated in 1989. Purchased by Curt Eklund, a Swedish industrialist, in 1973, it is today the property of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.   Bottles per Case: 12 Back to France - Bordeaux Index - Back to Main Index  CH.CITRAN'03, 750 ml France - Bordeaux Red Bottle: ¥3,400 Case: ¥36,720 more...
