Chateau Fleur Haut Gaussens Bordeaux Superieur 2019

Served @ DB's "2019 Bordeaux Tasting" 

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. 10,000 cases produced annually.

Winemaker Notes: The nose shows a red and black crisp fruit, aromatic and smooth bouquet. On the palate the wood is well balanced with the fruit. The finish is gourmandized and flavorful. Attractive ageing potential.

Intense aromas of ripe plums and blackberries with hints of tar and toasted oak. Medium-bodied with plush yet creamy tannins and a smooth, velvety mouth-feel. Long finish. 85% merlot, 5% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 5% malbec. Try from 2023.
