Château Marsau - Francs Côtes de Bordeaux - Rouge - 2016

Wine:

Pure Merlot, the 2016 Red Chateau Marsau Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, is a seductive, full-bodied, extremely appealing example of a Bordeaux wine that reveals itself today in a deep and very juicy style. The fresh, intense flavors of fruit and the present but smooth tannins form an ensemble that is both generous and subtle, which will pair beautifully with a duck breast or a fine entrecote. Rated 91/100 by Olivier Poussier.
