Product information "Glen Carlou Grand Classique 2022"
The Glen Carlou Grand Classique presents itself in the glass in a rich, deep red colour play and smells of herbs with violet aromas, finely coated with fruit layers of blackcurrants, blackberries and a hint of cinnamon as well as dark chocolate and spicy notes. On the palate, this complex, elegant wine with ripe tannins presents itself softly with cherry and chocolate components and finally turns into a furious, never-ending finish with a fine acidity.

The grapes were left to swell on the skins for 1 - 2 weeks, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for 3 - 4 weeks. The wine then matured for 18 months in 225 litre French oak barrels, 30% of which were new wood, 40% second and 30% third filled.
