Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac

AOC Saint-Emilion

Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac has successfully united nature, man and machine to earn its place alongside the true elite of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wines. This is a refined and elegant wine, with gossamer-light structure. It charms with its harmony, floral and fruity purity of flavour and delicate, well-integrated tannins further to meticulous ageing.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby color. On the nose, lovely fruity aromas of strawberry and blackberry interwin with an appealing floral hint of violet. Fresh on the attack and well-balanced on the palate, the wine reveals a delicate structure with fine, well-integrated tannins. The lingering and aromatic finish reflects the elegance and finesse characteristic of the terroir of Château Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac.

The vintage

Winter is marked by rainfalls well above the thirty-year average and particularly mild temperatures, favoring an early and very even bud burst. The quite cool and rainy Spring slows down the vegetative cycle. Limited due to the cool temperatures, the sanitary pressure remains under control, thanks to the painstainking care of our team.
Rather late, flowering takes place under overall good conditions.
Temperatures finally rise in summer. The thermal amplitude of the second half of August favours the synthesis of aromas and polyphenols. Accelerated by rainfalls at the end of the month, veraison is very even. At the beginning of September, the qualitative potential is already very encouraging. The maturity is homogeneous, the tasting of the berries shows very aromatic grapes, present and elegant tannins and a beautiful balance between sugars and acidity, suggesting a harmonious and fruity vintage.
