Bordeaux Superieur with Grand Cru cache, the Cap Royal benefits from the expertise of Jean Rene Matignon, winemaker of second growth Chateau Pichon Baron. A traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, you're met with aromas of blackberry and blueberry jam with spicy and toasted notes. On the palate, the richness of the wine is evident through a creaminess enhanced by vanilla notes brought by the ageing in oak barrels, a Jean Rene Matignon trademark. Considering our last offer of Chateau Pichon Baron sold for $150 a bottle, we'll gladly pop a few bottles of Cap Royal as we're waiting for Pichon to hit it's drinking window!
"Spiced and dark-fruited character with hints of hazelnuts and wet stones. Medium-bodied with structured, slightly grainy tannins and bright fruit in the middle. It’s juicy and fresh with a bright aftertaste. Vegan. Drink now or hold." James Suckling, 90 Points
