1996 ChAtildecentteau AngAtildecopylus 1er Grand Cru ClassAtildecopy B

This is the first vintage of ChAtildecentteau AngAtildecopylus to bear the status of Premier Grand Cru ClassAtildecopy. It was a year with an uneven weather pattern, at times very hot, at others cool and alternately damp and dry. The vintage should attain the complexity of the great classical years. One of the smallest harvests of the last twenty years, the Merlot matured well, with considerable richness and subtlety. The Cabernet Franc has a quite exceptional density and fruitiness the natural alcohol level recorded in the vats was between 13.2Acircdeg and 13.95Acircdeg. The wines have a rich colour, with a classical structure and a fruity fragrance that is quite dazzling. Age until 2025
