2017 Chateau Bernard Magrez Saint-Estephe

Winemaker Notes

The 2017 Château Bernard Magrez Saint-Estèphe is a structured and elegant Bordeaux red, showcasing the classic character of the region. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it opens with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and subtle oak, followed by layers of tobacco, chocolate, and earthy spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with firm tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a dry, persistent finish. Despite the challenges of the vintage, this wine reflects finesse and depth, making it a solid choice for pairing with red meats or aging in the cellar.
