Château Les Hauts de Palette 2014

Once again, Jean-Christophe Yung showcases his expertise with this 2014 wine produced on land that his family farmed as tenants for 18 years before purchasing it in 1992 to then renovate and expand their winery. This blend of Merlot (60%) and two types of Cabernets is deep crimson with an expressive bouquet of ripe red fruits and blueberry combined effortlessly with vanilla, licorice and toasty notes inherited from 12 months of barrel aging. A round, supple palate with volume that is silky from start to finish is accompanied by quality tannins. A refined wine. Coup de Coeur. Score - 2 Stars (out of 3). (Guide Hachette, 2017)
