Awards
Bronze Medal American Wine Society Commercial Wine Competition 2007 Collection des Chateaux
Gerard Basset, European Sommelier of the year, Robert Joseph, UK’s award winning wine critic, have done the homework for you, and the result is Collection des Chateaux Cuvee Number One.
Characteristics
Aromas of Boysenberry, plum, and toasted oak are accented by Black pepper spice and subtle earth tones; which lead into fresh cherry flavors layered with licorice and cocoa. This firmly textured wine has wonderful balance and a lingering finish.
Food Pairings
Excellent when paired with peppercorn steak or grilled lamb chops.

Grapes for this first Cuvee are grown by three different estates, covering the right bank Appellations of Bordeaux.
- Chateau Bayens: Located in Puisseguin Saint-Emilion
