Tasting notes

Of a bright and brilliant red, L’Eclat de Tour de Pez 2014 expresses a nose of fruit aromas and well-blended oak.

The character of the Cabernet is evident. The structure in the mouth is supple and delicious. The smooth, fresh and fruity finish is of good length.

L’Eclat de Tour de Pez

Red

L’Eclat de Tour de Pez is produced by the Château Tour de Pez. The notable presence of Merlot in the vineyards of Château Tour de Pez brings quite atypical notes in the Médoc, thus giving the Eclat de Tour de Pez a strong and remarkable identity.

For twenty-five years now, substantive and high quality work has made it possible, year after year, to produce wines worthy of a Grand Cru Classé classification
