Frank notes of red fruit on the nose. Round on the palate, with a beautiful freshness and clear cherry pit notes on the finish.

Chateau la Nauze, located at Puisseguin at 15 minutes of Saint Emilion
in the region of Bordeaux in France, belongs to the Verfaillie family since 2007.
Amateurs of wine and enthusiastic defenders of quality, Marcel and Leslie Verfaillie, fell under the charm from this vineyard of 7.5 ha located on the careers of Monbadon, one of the culminating points of the Gironde.
The specificity of this soil, made of a thin layer of clay-limestone, offers a tremendous power and smoothness to the wine. All the means were implemented to restore this splendid property and to respect to the maximum the fruits of the Terroir.

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
