A blend of typically 55% Cabernet Sauvignon , 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot from vines of an average age of 16 years, vinified in new temperature controlled stainless steel vats and matured in an immaculate barrel cellar by a master winemaker, this wine cannot fail to satisfy. The raspberry and redcurrant fruit mix with a hint of spice and work perfectly with the rounded tannins for a full, deep and long mouthful.

Château Noaillac Château Noaillac’s history can be traced back many hundreds of years, but in the current form only 25 or so when the winery was bought by father and son, Marc and Xavier Pagès of Château La Tour De By fame. Their first move was to replant the vineyards which are now, being older, yielding grapes which make a succulent, earthy and flavourful claret with an added dimension of 10 months of oak ageing. The wine is a true expression of Cru Grand Bougeois at its best.
