Tasting notes
Not to be confused with the Beausoleil from Pomerol, this is a Bordeaux Superieur made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, tipping out at 14.5% natural alcohol. Once again, the omnipresent Stephane Derenoncourt is the consultant. The wine possesses loads of fruit as well as a fragrant nose of cedar, spice box, flowers, and blue and red fruits. Fleshy, medium to full-bodied, long and fruit-driven, this is quite a pleasure bomb. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.

Bright floral and berry aromas follow through to a medium body, with lively, clean fruit and a fresh finish. Balanced
