Our Wines
Double médaille d'or
Royal Héritage
le Vin du Roy
Royal Heritage comes from the blending of wines from our best and oldest stocks: Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Abouriou.
They give this wine the speci c characteristic of the black Brulhois vintage.
Each variety of wine demands a separate wine-processing, but the time of fermenta- tion in vats is the same and can take up to three weeks.
During the fermentation in vats high temperatures are required to extract a maxi- mum richness from the skin. This gives each wine its particular avour :
questche and cherry for Merlot and Cabernet, blackcurrant and blackberry for Tan- nat and Abouriou, whose rough tannin will soften with time.
The wine from the different stocks are blended after six months in barrels. That time in barrels adds mellowness and a liquorices avor resulting from slow oxygenation. Ageing in bottles adds a nishing touch, so every bottle you open will give your palate the velvety, silky delight of happy days.
The 2008 Vintage harvested in September, its tannin is very ripe and its bouquet has a touch of cooked and candied fruit in it.
It is a wine that goes very well with fricassees, stews, game and cheese.
HOW TO ENJOY IT :
Open the bottle at least four hours
Before serving it or even better pour it from one Bottle into another and back to the rst one.

TASTING NOTES
Deep red color. Nose of red and black fruits : groseille, cassis, prunes To be drunk at 18° with poultry or red meat. Decanting recommended.
This is the family Reserve of the Domaine, made from the youngest vines which are producing their rst grapes. They are just at the begining of their life, so their roots are not very deep in the soil yet. The result is a lighter wine, ready to drink sooner, but with an obvious family resemblance with Royal Heritage and Le Prince.
