Le Haut-Medoc de Dauzac
This magnificent 4-hectare vineyard in Haut-Médoc is worked and vinified with the same care as Château Dauzac. The unique characteristics of its soil give it a complexity in which the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal fully expresses itself. This is an extremely well-balanced wine full of personality characterized by fruity and spicy notes.

2014 Weather Conditions: 
An atypical climate with a mild, rainy winter and an early spring with mild temperatures and cool nights. The month of May was mixed with cool periods and 30°C temperatures. Flowering took place in good conditions with some grape shatter for the Merlots, promoting the aeration of the bunches. A disappointing summer with bad weather slowed down vine growth. The autumn was fabulous; it was dry and warm – the warmest on record for 100 years – making it possible to concentrate the grapes and achieve exceptional ripeness. We were able to harvest a nice volume of grapes with peace of mind.

Tasting Notes:
Appearance: garnet red with purple tints.
Nose: A powerful slightly peppery and floral nose of red fruits.
Palate: A nice pairing of ripe fruits and elegant tannins. The mouth is very pleasantly balanced, suggesting that the wine will be delightful if tasted in two years.
