Description

Made from a single plot of Merlot, Le Bon Nobel is a wonderful, contemporary red wine from the Bordeaux area of France. Le Bon Nobel is barrel fermented and matured in French oak for 16 months. Blackberry, plum, hazelnut, truffle, and cedar oak are among the characteristics that contribute to its rich and nuanced bouquet. The flavour is well-balanced and smooth, with a lengthy, gratifying finish. Decanting is advised since this opens up nicely with a little air.

Chateau Picoron

The estate is named after the Picoron family that continued winemaking from 1570. Since 2015, the winery celebrates the future of Bordeaux with its new Australian owners Glenda and Frank Kalyk. They explore the potential of the great grape of Merlot, with the contraints of the Bordeaux region, its varietals and the changing climate, being the very catalyst for their creation. Each wine is produced from single plot grapes, with vineyards grown on famous St Emillion clay and limestone ridge.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
