Chateau Des Antonins
Chateau Des Antonins, Bordeaux, France - 1.5l
If Bordeaux red had a flagship wine, this offering from Chateau des Antonins would be high in the running for such an esteemed title. The first impression comes courtesy of the striking nose, which combines fruity scents of blackcurrant, pium and cherry with an spicy, toasted undertone of tobacco. This aroma gives way to a supple, smooth and deep massage of the palate, where deep, red fruit overtones come to the fore. A hint of cedar wood adds a welcome layer of complexity, alongside smooth tannins which offer just a pinch of refreshing acidity. An uplifting and lingering honeyed finish completes an astounding experience that demands to be tasted by any enthusiast.
GRAPE
-
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.
WHAT IT GOES WITH
With Merlot acting as the dominant grape, this red is a perfect accompaniment for a hearty Sunday roast or similar meal. Overall, though, any meat dish - including game - will make the ideal companion meal.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Located in Pondaurat, a commune found in the southwest of France, Château des Antonins was built as a convent in the 13th Century, populated by monks sworn into the order of Saint Antoine. Initially used to treat victims of ergotic poisoning, the Roquefeuil family took ownership of the convent in the aftermath of the French revolution. The winery has since been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1985, Geoffroy and Martine Roquefeuil have managed 3 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes, alongside a further 24 hectares dedicated to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.

A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
