CHATEAU DES TROIS TOURS 2009

Description:
Wine Style:  Dry Red

Owned by the Lumeau family Chateau Des Trois Tours is an ancient fortified estate and lies at Caumont near Sauveterre de Guyenne.  With its three remaining towers, defensive walls and moat it's actually one of the oldest local properties.  In the 16th and 17th centuries it was the property of the Albret family. Jeanne d’Albret, Queen of Navarre, stayed there several times with her son, the future King Henry IV of France. 

Chateau Des Trois Tours has an intense bouquet and flavours of ripe blackberry, coffee, raspberry and vanilla; and a hint of oak coupled with a very fine long liquorice finish. The wine is a deep dark garnet colour with well balanced, silky tannins.  Des Trois Tours ages well and is a seductive wine being supple with good complexity and depth.  We recommend you decant 2 hours before serving.  The wine is ideal with beef, venison, game pies, rabbit, duck, hare, beef wellington and feathered game such as pheasant, guinea fowl and partridge. It's also great with strong hard cheeses.
