Tasting notes

Its colour is dark, with copper reflections. Notes of roasted cocoa soon fade to give way to aromas of small red fruits. The silky palate is delicate, then develops into a finish with ample tannins, that are still firm.

Le Secret du Nautilus

Red

A very special Cuvée created at Château Roquegrave :

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869), Jules Verne…

Did you know that the Nautilus had come near the Médoc coast ?

A Wine collection inspired by the great adventures of Captain Nemo and his crew.

A skillful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes from this region, located between Cordouan and Pauillac, is at the origin of this wine aged in the bottom of the cellar, partly in vats and partly in barrels.

The secret of this rich blend was shared between close friends, who joined forces and their know-how to produce a wine rich… in history.
