2010 Chateau Labastide Orliac Royal Heritage Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat Southwest, France
Deeply entrenched in French history, sisters Isabelle and Catherine Orliac are heirs to a property in southwest France that supplied wine to Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette and the Court of France in the 1780s. They're the seventh generation of the Orliac family to inhabit the chateau and continue the family’s winemaking traditions.
Farmed organically and fermented in cement to allow the juice to evolve, it has a lovely rustic purity. Red and black fruits, cassis and deep complex flavors.
