FRONSAC CUVEE TRADITION 2009

CHATEAU LA VIEILLE CROIX

REF : BOR111

 

CUVÉE :

Without reaching the balance of the DM sister-cuvée, this Wine makes concrete the pure reality of the terroir. It becomes very surprising after 5 years of preservation. It gives a fair feeling of what we could savour in Saint-Emilion, Pomerol or Fronsac 30 years ago. Yield 4 5 HL / HA.
