Pourpre de Barbe 2020
Pourpre de Barbe 2020
Côtes de Bourg
The name of this Côtes de Bourg pays tribute to the beautiful color of its evening gown: an intensity inherited from its majority blend of Merlots, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignons. Thanks to its complexity, the wine calls for several years of aging to reveal its full potential, served for example with wood-fired grilled meat, roasted lamb, or duck.
The nose is rich on black fruits with complex notes Mocha, chocolate, spices. The palate is just as expressive with a fleshy attack, a beautiful balance of power and character mid-palate, supported by the structure of a lovely long finish. Pourpre 2020 will be enjoyed by any taster. It is a complex but already very open wine that will reach its peak in a few years, therefore demonstrating its great aging potential.
