89 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Has some berry and earth character, with milk chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, round textured and fruity. Rich, almost decadent. A friendly young wine. Best after 2010. 4,165 cases made." -89 points Wine Spectator |
Description:
WINE:
"Very deep garnet color. Delicate nose of light wood, toasted bread, and berry jam. On the palate, the aromas are reproduced with a perfect balance and freshness. Lovely long finish. The classic style of this elegant wine make it the perfect accompaniment of rich meats: red meats, lamb, and roasted game." -Winery
WINERY:
"The property has retained the name of the foundations on which it was built. It is likely that the lands surrounding the property belonged to the holding of Gardere. Prior to 1681, the property which today makes up the Chateau de France was a collection of small parcels of land whcih were joined to gether in the 16th century by Marceau Dubasque and Jean de Latreilles. This is in fact detailed in documents dating to 1648 in which it is stated that the said Marceau Dubasque bought these lands from Andre Dejean, barrel maker."
"This adventure actually began years prior, in 1971, when Bernard Thomassin was offered the opportunity to buy the property without having seen it. All he knew was that the property was in a state of neglect and that he would practically have to start buliling from scratch. In 1986, Henri Enjalbert refered to the property in his book entitled 'Histoire de la Vigne et du Vin' saying : 'the lands alone of Chateau de France will allow the property to regain the glory that belonged to it in the 19th century, thereby entitling it to carry its rightful name in a manner that does it justice.'" -Winery
VINEYARDS:
"The wine producing lands in Graves are surely some of the oldest in Bordeaux since they have been known for over 2000 years. Its red wines are recognised for the power and elegance while its white wines are appreciated for their ability to age well. It is here that the controlled production area of Pessac-Leognan was born. This 'appellation' comprises ten smaller communities which house 60 chateaux of which 15 have been classified as 'Crus Classes'."
"Chateau de France boasts all three of the territorial conditions needed to create a grand vin: the soil, the sub-soil and the slopes. Its 38.5 hectares of vineyards, 36 of which are planted with red grapes, spread out over the most elevated plateau of Leognan. The vineyards of Chateau de France are in the priviledged position of being located on the outcrops of deepr gravel, and often on a clay-chalk subsoil. These ridges of sand and mottled clay are proof of the best wine growing terroir. These same charateristics can be found in Haut Sauternais and in certain areas of Medoc." -Winery
