The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Taken over by Giorgio Cavanna, Chianti star winemaker at Castello di Ama, and advised by Bertrand Léon, son of the former oenologist of Château Mouton-Rothschild, the Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons is the pinnacle of success, becoming one of the appellation’s most valued estates. Nowadays, it continues to produce top-of-the-range wines in perfect Bordeaux style, walking the fine line between power and balance with panache.
Wine The 2018 Red Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons Graves has aromas of ripe and abundant fruit, around notes of dark berries, leather, a hint of vanilla and a full texture and good volume, with fresh tannins. A complete and generous palate with a balanced tannic structure, perfectly balanced between smoothness and finesse. Bordeaux as we love it!
