Château Plain Point Fronsac 2020
AOC Fronsac
A blend of Merlot, an emblematic grape variety of its region, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Château Plain Point expresses notes of fruits and spices. The mosaic of terroirs of the estate allows for a wide range of expressions of these grape varieties, resulting in great complexity.
The aging in barrels subtly perfects this aromatic bouquet by bringing some toasted notes. The ideal companion for exceptional moments, this wine embodies not only the perfect present but also a safe bet that will delight the most demanding palates.

Tasting Notes:
Brimming aromas of crisp and fresh red fruit, some caramel and chocolate bourbon biscuits and slight orange rind. Simmering acidity. Stout, balanced full mid palate with chewy dark fruit and licorice and a soft finish. Textured, layered, bolstered by solid tannins. A burly yet elegant wine. Pair with sweet potatoes and beef chunks. Beautiful emissary from Fronsac
