2020 Château Du Parc

Château Du Parc is an 80/20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak barrels with medium toasting. The bouquet of this wine is round and opulent, evoking the richness of Boysenberry jam and raspberries. Its style is decidedly modern. With good acidity and smooth tannins, it is medium-bodied with an elegant tannin profile.

The wine displays great intensity and luster, along with a rich red hue. There is a beautiful contrast between ripe red fruit aromas and spicy notes, offering a complex nose. On the palate, it is direct and lingers, featuring a continuation of the beautiful red fruits. A spicy note runs throughout the tasting, complemented by a subtle woody undertone.

"This 80/20 Merlot/Cabernet Franc from Dr. Alain Raynaud and Damien Landouar includes redolent and rich aromas of succulent, ripe red fruit, as well as blackberries and heather. A delight on the nose. Lush red fruit flavors mid palate, laid back though both delicate and elegant tannins and fresh acidity. Let it age another year."  TOM MULLEN 95/100

"Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle ochre brightening on the rim. Nuances of cassis, sea
buckthorn and rhubarb, hints of black olives and pesto, spicy nuances. Juicy palate, hints of
black berries and liquorice, integrated tannins, freshly structured, dark nougat on the finish.
Needs further bottle ageing." PETER MOSER 92/100
