Tasting notes
Made from seven of the estate's most exceptional vines, Château d'Ampuis is a racy wine with aromas of black fruits and toasted notes. Its color is dark and very deep, with mauve reflections. The nose is dense, expressive and intense. Tannic and racy wine. Aromas of prunes, blackberries and vanilla. Powerful, concentrated and structured palate. Its elegant nobility gives it great aging potential. Wine and game dishes, red meats and cheeses.
