Chateau de Cazenove Bordeaux Supérieur red 2016
16/20 RVF. Excellent Bordeaux Supérieur located on the edge of the Margaux appellation, neighboring Château Dauzac (classified growth in Margaux). A superb vintage 2016, less powerful than 2015 but with more finesse. Despite the very low yields due to frost, 2016 is thus concentrated and has a remarkable balance in Médoc. The winemaker even admits that he prefers it to his sought-after 2015!
