Château des Tourtes 2012 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

Country: France / Bordeaux
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Château des Tourtes /

This wine is concentrated, with fruit that seems too ripe. Jammy berry flavors are mixed in with dry tannins and a firm backdrop. It’s solid, although not quite balanced. The estate was founded in 1967 by Philippe Raguenot; daughters Emmanuelle and Marie-Pierre took over in 1997.
