Tasting notes
The Page de la Tour de Bessan Margaux second wine from Château de la Tour de Bessan.
This Margaux is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small percentage of Petit Verdot grapes.
Perfume and sweetness on the nose. Concentrated wine, strong raspberry on the palette. It develops aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant, spices and toasted bread. Overall a great value and balanced wine. Perfect for an aperitif with friends or to pair with a beautiful piece of beef.
