2019 Prairie Francs Côtes de Bordeaux (Château Marsau 2nd Label)

A pure‑Merlot, organically grown, cool‑fruited right‑bank Bordeaux with a distinctly modern, juicy profile.

Nose - Blackcurrant, violet and raspberry aromatics Perfumed darker fruit: black cherry, blackcurrant, subtle dried flowers Fresh, pure fruit expression with no oak influence.

Palate - Medium‑bodied, juicy and mouth‑watering, packed with fresh cherries, strawberries and blackcurrant. Lovely framing spice; fine, integrated tannins supporting the fruit rather than dominating it Bright acidity giving lift and definition; crunchy, pure fruit style. Fine tannins, beautifully integrated. Fresh, linear structure with layers of fruit and subtle complexity. Cooling, refreshing aftertaste; very clean finish

A fresh, fruit‑forward, perfumed Merlot with excellent drinkability and surprising structure for the price. It balances prettiness with definition, offering both immediate charm and modest ageing potential.
