Overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Coufran is frequently described as "Médoc Pomerol" because of its high proportion of Merlot, which is unusual for this region. Aged for 12 months mostly in French barrels, a quarter of which is renewed in new wood every year, this red truly shows itself after being decanted into a carafe. Fleshy and ample on the palate, it evokes notes of graphite, undergrowth, soy, blackcurrant, plum and licorice.

(Automatically translated) Haut-Médoc 2010 (excellent vintage) with predominance of Merlot and passage in oak barrels for a period of 12 months including 1/4 in new barrels. Aroma of black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant and tertiary aromas on undergrowth and mushroom. Soft tannins with light acidity. Passage in decanter
(Automatically translated) This vintage on the 2010 vintage is perfectly balanced. Aromas, tannins, acidity, etc... Unfortunately, you will have to finish the bottle the same evening. Otherwise, the wine will have lost its luster the next day. 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
