Toasted, savoury, classic.
The back label explains the curious name of this estate and the Frenchman who once owned it. He'd spent time in Canada some two hundred years ago and was so taken with our homeland he brought the name back to France.
The Chateau is located 15 kilometers north of Bordeaux.
I review this wine year after year, and see its variations.
The 2019 leads with chocolate and cherries, red and black currants, vanilla, leather, pencil shavings, licorice molasses and dried flowers. It's ripe but fresh, savoury with restrained fruit and a long tobacco flavoured finish.
