Chateau Bernadotte - Haut-Médoc | French Red Wine

Château Bernadotte sits on fine, gravelly soil that formerly had the right to the Pauillac appellation and formed part of a Cru Classé. The property was purchased in 1996 by Madame Lencquesaing, who also owns Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse-de-Lalande, and has experienced a rise in quality under her ownership.
Racy and bright, with kirsch, floral and chalk notes. The finish has good nervosite and tension. Tightly wound now, but the length is there. Equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
