The Château Carignan Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux is a first-class red wine in the wine glass. In this it presents a wonderfully bright, crimson color. At the edges, it also shows a color transition into garnet red. After the first swirl, one can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls watery or syrupy or liqueur-like. In the glass, this Château Carignan red wine reveals aromas of blackberry and black currant, complemented by blueberry and cocoa. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the top wine range, this Frenchman naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety. In the finish, this mature wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackberry and black currant appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone and gravel dominated soils are added.
