Château d'Agassac Précision 2016 (ex-ch)

Château d’Agassac, the chateau’s first wine, is made from the estate’s oldest vines and best deep gravel terroirs. The Cuvée Précision is the purest expression of the Pyrenean gravel soils of the Domaine, where aromatic purity, balance, and natural concentration rival the precision of textures and flavors. This Cuvée is produced for the greatest vintages.

The structure of this wine is dense, yet silky, which leads us to believe that this first vintage of Précision d'Agassac will have great purity and aging potential. This wine already expresses notes of toasting and black fruit jam, which will give way over time to the mentholated minerality that characterizes the terroir of the Château.
