Château Clos Brandet 2020 Bordeaux Supérieur Red

Since the 1960s, the land on the right bank of Bordeaux has been cultivated by the DOBIGEON family. It is regular and sustained work that has enabled Château Clos Brandet to offer the reputation of an exceptional red wine. Today, and since 2005, it is the great-grandson, Thibaut FUGIER, who has taken over the reins of the family traditions.

Deep cherry red colour with dark ruby highlights. Nose of jammy fruit (blackcurrant, wild strawberry, cherry) with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, polished tannins, preserved freshness and fruitiness give way to notes of mokka and vanilla on the finish.
