Château Falfas Le Chevalier Côtes de Bourg 2019

A concentrated biodynamic Bordeaux from old vines, combining a deep garnet colour, a rich bouquet and a complex, exceptionally long palate.

🍇 About the wine

Le Chevalier 2019 is a plot selection from vines more than 75 years old, with an exceptionally low yield of 20 hl/ha. The blend combines 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with 30% Merlot.

The wine is matured for 18 months in new French oak barrels and racked every three months. This meticulous élevage gives Le Chevalier impressive depth, structure and ageing potential.
