Ch. d'Agassac Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2012 represents one of the finest examples of Bordeaux's respected cru bourgeois classification. This premium 750ml bottle showcases the classic characteristics that have made Haut-Medoc wines sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

The 2012 vintage delivers a sophisticated blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc. At 13.5% ABV, this best cru bourgeois offers remarkable balance and complexity. The wine presents a beautiful garnet color with brick-red edges indicating its perfect drinking window.

On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and forest floor, with subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of leather from bottle aging. The palate is medium to full-bodied with well-defined flavors of dark berries, dried herbs, and earthy undertones.

The tannins have softened beautifully over time, creating a smooth, velvety texture while maintaining enough structure to complement rich cuisine. The finish is long and satisfying with lingering notes of spice and dark chocolate.
