Chateau Noaillac 2016 75cl

Tasting Note

“Ripe and heady on the nose, fully expressive and scented, smells really seductive. Fine but very firm and dense tannins. Slatey finish, long and cool fruited. 94points, Decanter Magazine March 2023”

Producer

A rising star. Damien, Marc Pages’s grandson, took over the running of this property some years ago. Some 40 years ago, they realised that the soil in this northerly part of the Médoc once produced excellent wines and the land had been abandoned. Now with 46 hectares, and the vines becoming older, 20-25 years on average, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 55% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, a new chai with rows of temperature controlled stainless steel vats and an immaculate barrel cellar. Château Noaillac is now producing succulent, lovely early drinking claret.
