2005
Château
Sainte Colombe, Côtes de Castillon 12/750ml
Made from 70% Merlot,
20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Alcoholic fermentation triggered by indigenous yeast in
temperature controlled cement vats. The wine has stayed on the
skins for 4 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in barrel.
Aged for 15 months in oak barrels with racking every 3 months.
"One of the least expensive wines from Gerard Perse’s
three Cotes de Castillon estates, the 2005 Ste-Colombe is
unquestionably the softest and most immediately accessible.
Its dark ruby color is followed by a concoction of ripe, sweet
black currant and cherry fruit, incense, spring flowers, and
spice. Drink this richly fruity 2005 over the next 4-5 years.'
