Characteristics and tasting tips for Château Brillette 2010

Tasting

Although the Merlot grapes were excellent, soft, fragrant and voluptuous on the palate, it was the Cabernet Sauvignons which, having reached perfect ripeness, set the tone for the blends. The Petit Verdot also brings density, richness and complexity to this Moulis en Médoc appellation wine. Proud representative of the wines of the Médoc, this Château Brillette 2010 is powerful and silky, with great finesse and a lovely aromatic complexity.
