Chateau Reysson
AOC Haut-Médoc
Château Reysson is a magnificent wine, classified Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Haut-Médoc. It finds its orgins at the summit of a stunning plateau, and unusually for the Medoc, on clay-limestone soils, where Merlot is seen to thrive. The wines are fleshy and juicy on the palate, enhanced by the mineral character of Cabernet Franc. Well-balanced and fresh.
Tasting notes
The color is bright and quite deep. The nose is fresh and fruity, with a hint of black cherry. Initially direct, the palate is linear and taught, coated in fine, balanced tannins. It culminates into a long finish, where the fruity and mineral expression typical of the clay-limestone terroir of Château Reysson stretches out.
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.
