Biston Brillette 2019 is a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur red Bordeaux from the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation. A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine is a concentrated expression of its gravel and clay-limestone terroir. It presents a powerful and dense nose of blackcurrant and blackberry, interwoven with notes of graphite and tobacco. The palate is structured with a fleshy mid-palate and a firm backbone of ripe, chalky tannins, culminating in a long, savoury finish. The wine`s ripe fruit and firm structure reflect the 2019 vintage`s warmth, promising both immediate enjoyment and graceful ageing.
