Barons de Rothschild Château Paradis Casseuil

Grapes: 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet sauvignon 5% Cabernet franc

Character: Complex bouquet of ripe and fresh fruit, supported by a subtle woody note. The attack is ample with a remarkable balance between freshness and density. The silky mouth reveals an elegant tannin grain before leading to a long-lasting finish.

Goes well with: Serve at around 16°C with dishes of fatty or wild birds, as well as with beef or lamb dishes.

About the wine: The Paradis Casseuil terroir is mainly linked to the molasse of the Agenais, a typical geologicalformation of the Entre-Deux-Mers plateau, but also to the Asteria limestone, which appears at the place called "Le Paradis". Over the course of the blocks, these two formations have a wide variety of sedimentary facies: sandstone limestone, marl, clay with calcareous nodules, variegated magnesian molasse, etc. The soils that develop here are usually very clayey and rich in calcium. They thus benefit from excellent structural porosity, which is favourable to deep root development, but also from a certain coolness.
