Description
Region: Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux AOC
Grape Varieties: Merlot 65%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%
Nestled on one of the numerous slopes in the Entre-Deux-Mers, just a short distance from the famous medieval town of Saint-Emilion, Château Guibon has a very long history. The monks at the neighbouring abbey of La Sauve Majeure are known to have made wine on clay-limestone terroir here in the 17th century. This was already much appreciated by connoisseurs. The reds are full-bodied and vigorous, and become smoother 2 or 3 years after the vintage.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Colour is garnet red.
Nose: The nose is remarkable, with a beautiful intensity of ripe red fruits, such as cherries; the whole is enhanced by gourmet notes of tobacco.
Mouth: The attack is very supple. There is a nice volume in the middle of the mouth, with well-melted tannins. It is a gourmet wine, easy to drink and very drinkable.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Château Guibon pairs well with white meats, vegetables, cheese, red meats. You will appreciate all its qualities by tasting it with an assortment of tapas, a stuffed potimarron (Savoyarde style) or a barbecued beef rib.
