Château Haut Terrasson Bordeaux Rouge

The Château Haut Terrasson Bordeaux Rouge is a very nice, light, and easy to drink wine. Produced in the Bordeaux region of France, the vineyard is planted on slopes overlooking the Garonne River valley. This particular wine is a combination of 65% merlot, and 35% cabernet sauvignon. The result is a bold, medium bodied wine experience.

This is quite a bold wine with great tannins. It is very dry without much in the way of sweetness. It is definitely an acidic wine, but has a gentle softness to it that stops it from being overwhelmingly bitter. To the eye: a gentle ruby red is the foremost color with purple hues shining through in the right light. Definitely easy to look at. On the nose: notes of dark fruits and berries. Leather and earthy notes are easy to enjoy here. On the palate: this wine offers a medium-bodied experience with a long-lasting aftertaste. Forward notes consist of plum, dark cherries, dark fruits, leather, and hints of vanilla and chocolate.

The Château Haut Terrasson Bordeaux Rouge is a wonderful wine that is easily paired with bold-flavored proteins and dishes. This wine goes wonderfully with duck, especially duck confit. If you have the opportunity to pair these together, you will not be disappointed.
