Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Malbec

Region: France, AOC Bordeaux

Grape variety:  Merlot (89%), Cabernet Franc (3%), Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) & Malbec (5%)

Background: Jade represents living organisms of the sky and earth; the sequence consists first of cultivating the land, then right through to harvesting the grapes. The wine produced is the culmination of a complete process of working the land by the winegrower. It is only after this stage that a delicate alchemy can begin between the vat house and wine cellar. Brothers Jean-Claude and Jean-François Berrouet provide their valuable guidance for producing this lovely wine.

·         The second wine of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Chateau Fleur de Lisse

·         Certified HVE3 aka High Environmental Value

·         Aged for at least 8 months

·         Oenologists are brothers, Jean-Claude and Jean-François Berrouet

Tasting notes: A Merlot-led blend with notes of ripe black plums and spice. The palate is rich, silky and intense.

Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections. Fruity and delicately fragrant, the wine shows blueberries and strawberries on the nose, complemented by notes of violets and a hint of Sechuan pepper. On the palate, full-bodied, round, with sweet enamel and a wonderful fruit, aromas of black currants, wild blackberries, some liquorice and roasted coffee are presented. The finely woven, very soft tannins are only noticeable in the finish.

 

 

 

Region: France, AOC Pomerol
Grape variety: 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc & 3% Malbec

Ageing: A very fine success that will have to wait at least 2 years after its vintage for the most impatient and which of course has good aging potential.

Tasting notes: Wine with a beautiful, dense purple colour. The nose is powerful with notes of black fruits, blueberries and blackcurrants, with nuances of black pepper. There are also fine aromas of vanilla and toast. On the palate the wine is full and fleshy, with a beautiful complexity on a smooth substance. The Merlots, harvested without being over-ripe, offer both roundness, delicate and crunchy flesh and a grain that harmoniously coats the tannins that give this wine length and structure. This wine reveals all the complexity, richness and charm for which Pomerol wines are renowned. A typical wine of its appellation.
