The nose develops aromas of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry...) associated with a slightly spicy woodiness. The palate is supple, round, fleshy, well characterized, the tannins are melted. The finish is without heaviness, very nice balance.
Maison KRESSMANN is one of the oldest FAMILY houses of trading wines which was established in 1871 by Edouard KRESSMANN. His ancestors were in the coffee trade and he found a similarity with the wine trade in blending grape varieties with a concern for quality, finesse and balance. The Kressmann Grande Réserve reference has existed since 1897 . Kressmann relies on historical know-how with a powerful human connection at the heart of the vineyard by building a strong close relationship with the winegrowers. The proof is with the Château de la Pierrière, where the KRESSMANN house has had a signed exclusivity for 150 years. Since 1970, Kressmann has been among the first in Bordeaux to take part in a voluntary and collective approach to the environment, validated by ISO14001 certification. Today, a large number of their wines benefit from environmental certification: Terra Vitis, High Environmental Value or Organic Agriculture.
This vintage is the result of a blend of quality terroirs over a very large geographical area with a great diversity of soils and terroirs (loamy, sandy, clay and limestone).
