Deep ruby in color with intense aromas of black berries, toast, spices and vanilla. Fresh and fruity in the mouth with velvety tannins and a nice finish. A blend of 85% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec & 5% Petit Verdot.
Estate
Chateau Fleur Haut Gaussens is located in Verac, in the Fronsac region of Bordeaux. It has belonged to the Lhuillier family for 3 generations. It’s a relatively recent estate that was only selling wine in bulk. However, when Phillippe Lhuillier took over in 1990, he was the first one to introduce estate bottling.
Since then, the family has embarked on an extensive renovation program to improve the vineyards and cultivation methods. Significant investments have been made since 1997 to completely modernize the winemaking facilities. They use slow, finessed vinification processes that result in well- balanced, outstanding wines of consistent quality that continue to improve each year. The estate is 18 hectares (44 acres) in size. Estate grown and bottled. Sutainable practices.
