1er Grand Cru Classé B AOC - Château Trotte Vieille

The 1er Grand Cru Classé B, matured in barrel and hailing from the Bordeaux wine-growing region, presents itself in the glass in a bright purple red. At the rim, this French red also shows a transition to garnet red. If you give it some air in the glass by swirling, you can perceive an excellent balance in this red wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. The aromatics of this red wine from Bordeaux are dominated by aromas of all kinds of red and black berries and dark fruits such as black cherries and plums. This French wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the icon segment, this Frenchman, despite all its dryness, naturally enchants with the finest balance. Excellent flavor simply does not necessarily require residual sugar. The finish of this matured red wine from the Bordeaux region ultimately captivates with a lovely aftertaste.

The 1er Grand Cru Classé B is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this French wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World.
