Le Carré 2011 is a single-vineyard red wine from the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation of Bordeaux. Produced by Jonathan Maltus, this wine is sourced from a tiny parcel of old vines located on the limestone plateau, very close to Château Clos Fourtet. The 2011 vintage produced wines with a fresh fruit profile and a refined tannic structure, and this Merlot-dominant blend offers notes of black cherries, plums and crushed stones. It is matured in 100% new French oak, which is expertly integrated to provide a spicy complexity and a velvety texture.
