WINEMAKER NOTES
Chateau Du Parc is located in the Saint Emilion appellation in Bordeaux near the Dordogne River just an hour's drive east of the city of Bordeaux. These picturesque hills of the world-renowned Saint-Emilion appellation produce some of the best wines in the region. Chateau Du Parc has two terroirs on its 5.5 hectares (13.6 acres). To the south, the vineyards are mostly gravel and sand based while the north consists of clay and limestone soils. The vineyards' terroir creates a natural drainage system; this coupled with the perfect exposure to the sun produce perfect ripening conditions for our grape varieties. Our plantings are made up of 80% Merlot & 20% Cabernet Franc. Our vines average about 27 years before we replant new ones, this ensures we are producing the best wines from our vines.

92 POINTS - "Beautiful aromas of currants, berries, fresh herbs and roses follow through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful, gorgeous finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2019." - James Suckling
91 POINTS - "This is a generous ripe wine. It is full of rich black fruits that are cut with acidity as well as fleshed out with firm tannins. Dense and still dry, this young wine needs to age further. Drink from 2021." - Wine Enthusiast

Château Du Parc is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc matured in 50% new oak (medium toast). It has a rounded and opulent bouquet with a boysenberry jam and raspberry nose. This wine is quite modern in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and good acidity. The wine has a rich red color with sheen and great intensity. Very ripe, red fruit notes on the nose contrast with spicy notes with beautiful complexity. On the palate, it has a great onset; frank, direct, and sustained by beautiful red fruits throughout the tasting which linger in the mouth. Spicy and light wooden notes are present throughout. Our suggestion is to serve Chateau Du Parc at 18°C (64°F) and to let the wine breathe for at least 60 minutes before enjoying. Our wine is best enjoyed after it has been decanted with sharp cheeses, red meat, succulent duck, or a fine cigar.
