Chateau Cassagne Haut Canon
-
81 Canon-Fronsac AC 2004 La Truffière
Château Cassagne Haut-CanonGrape:60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc (13% alc.)
This vineyard has a superb terroir – a small steep-sided knoll overlooking the Dordogne – with a rich and varied mosaic of all the soils (Oligocene clays and sands with limestone on the hilltop) of the appellation. Aged in 40% new oak (the balance up to two years old), La Truffière is the château’s top cuvée. Very rich in its youth, it ages magnificently, gradually developing finesse and truffley notes on the nose, balanced by a nice minerality and freshness. For drinking now to 2013.
