The long, velvety finish shows nicely integrated grip. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2017. 10,000 cases made. –JM16 Rene GabrielDunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Angenehm fruchtiges Bouquet, Johannisbeeren und ein Hauch von süsslichem Grenadine darin zeigend. Schön ausgelegt im Gaumen, wirkt frisch und zeigt eine floral-fruchtige Verbindung über dem Extrakt, feine Kapseltöne im Nachklang und das zieht ihn einen Punkt runter.88 Robert ParkerMade up of 48% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc with a little Petit Verdot, Brillette’s 2009 has an opaque ruby/purple color and some serious tannin. This is an impressively constituted vin de garde made in a potentially long-aging style. It should drink nicely for 15 or more years, as this is another over-achiever from the Association of Crus Bourgeois. Producer Château BrilletteFound in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, Château Brillette stands out among the rest. Covering over 100 hectares of never ending vineyards, the estate is home to 40 hectares of classified vines. Since 1976, the château has belonged to the Flageul family. With several new investments in the 2000s, including a new wine cellar and tasting room, the estate has seen a rise in quality. These unique wines show the great traditions passed down from generation to generation, but also the precision of the wines which have been created in their cutting-edge cellar.
