Description

This is a wine that is still a little young, as was the case with the 2005 and 2006 when we first tasted them. However the wonderful structure means that in several months this wine will have the perfect balance between finesse and power-without losing its brilliant fruitiness. Patience is always rewarded.

Eye - This is a ruby red wine of a good intensity with crimson reflections surrounding a mauve shade at the edge of the glass. This wine has kept its youthful colour. A bright, clear and well concentrated bottle.
Nose - At the nose this wine exudes youth. Fruity notes are dominated by blackcurrants and blueberries. A note of age appears with the aromas of cardamom, wood and smoke, beautifully blended with the fruitiness.Aeration brings the notes of plum and violet to this delight. A strong and full flavoured wine.
Palate - This wine has all the flavours sensed at the nose, brought about with a fruity opening and fommowed by an acidic, tannic structure. This is a fresh and virile wine. The fresh notes of black fruits are delicious, and the spicy touches of pepper bring a warm edge.

This is a wine to serve with chicken wrapped in bacon and cheese, bacon salad, duck salad, duck in plum sauce, grilled lamb, and cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. This wine can be saved until 2016/18, the peak is in 2010, if drunk today open two hours before serving to allow the fruity flavours to come through.

Château de Lhoste is one of the many properties owned by Florence and Jean Arjeau. It is situated in Cardan, just near to St Jean de Compostelle. It stretches over 65 hectares of clay/limestone slopes, at an altitude of approximately 300m. Made from 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, this cuvée is matured in stainless steel tanks for 6 months before being bottled. A very pleasant wine with a well-defined character, perfect for any occasion. Excellent value for money!
