Cap Royal Bordeaux Supérieur Rouge

Cap Royal takes its name from the royal Cordouan lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse of Europe, situated at the entrance of Gironde Estuary. This 14th century beacon once signalled safe passage to Bordeaux wine merchants, returning home after sharing the great wines of Bordeaux with the world. Cap Royal benefits from the expertise of Jean René Matignon, winemaker of Château Pichon Baron, Grand Cru Classé Pauillac.

APPEARANCE
Deep red colour with purple reflections.

NOSE
A traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the Cap Royal Bordeaux opens with aromas of red fruit, blackberry, and blueberry jam, with spicy and toasted notes.

PALATE
On the palate, a classic Bordeaux medium body with red berry fruit, silky tannins, and bright acidity on the finish. The richness of the wine is evident through a creaminess enhanced by vanilla notes brought by the aging in oak barrels.

AGEING
Aged in oak barrels in the traditional Bordeaux way.

PAIRING
Lamb, aged beef and stews are really going to shine, as well as cheese at the end of the meal.
