Chateau Colombier Monpelou 2000 RED France

This well-known Pauillac property near to Chateau Mouton Rothschild covers over 25 hectares or close to 75 acres of vines - 65% Cabernet Sauvignon 25% Merlot plus some 5% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc - averaging 34 years of age. After fermentation all the wine is aged in oak barrels 40% of them new each year. This Chateau has been classed as a Cru Bourgeois since 1932 and enjoys a huge following in France. Deep red colour with very good Cabernet Sauvignon character - classic cigar box mint and blackcurrant aromas. Excellent balance and power with its fair share of Pauillac elegance and breeding! Serve with a tender chateaubriand confit de canard or breast of wood pigeon.
