'Intense red with purple reflections, this Prestige cuvée from Château Maine Gazin presents itself in the most beautiful way. The nose is very expressive; notes of cherry, blueberries and undergrowth are supported by subtle hints of brioche and spices. The palate is fresh and balanced with a rich and creamy attack, then the substance is built on extremely tasty and quite tense tannins, giving it a beautiful structure with a lot of length. This wine perfectly represents the success of the 2019 vintage with a very good aging potential, which will allow this wine to be enjoyed for the next 15 years.'

'Deep ruby core to a purple-tinted rim. Plum, bracken, and nori aromatics. Medium-bodied with purple fruits, dusty earth, and 'forest floor' notes. Good length and supple tannins keep it flowing well 2021–2029'
