From the Entre-deux-Mers, in the village of Cessac. 62 Cabernet Sauvignon, 23 Merlot, 15 Cabernet Franc from 25 year old vines. Grown on clay and limestone. De-stemmed and aged in 30 older barrels and the rest in tank.
CHATEAU BRIOT is a family-run property located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux, a region known for its approachable, early-drinking wines. This red has a typical left-bank cepage consisting of a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc rounding out the blend. It undergoes a brief spell in stainless steel for six months before bottling, to ensure its appealing fruit-forwardness and early approachability.
