Gerard Depardieu Priorato

點擊次數：2957

This 2003 Spanish red was fashioned from a 13-14 acre vineyard planted with 45 year old Grenache, Carignan, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. It was cropped at 21 hectoliters per hectare, and spent 18 months in new oak. Elegant and floral, offering notes of raspberries and cherries, it is medium-bodied and crisp, with impeccable purity, and a delicate personality. It should drink well for 5-10 years.Sadly, at this time there is no American importer for this wine, although Bernard Magrez's international connections should ensure that these cuvees end up in the better restaurants and wine shops of not only France, but Western Europe. Hopefully, an innovative American importer will see fit to give American consumers access to these intriguing efforts.This wine will appear under the name Gerard Depardieu. Quantities for his wines range from 400-600 cases, and the debut vintage (2002) will hit the marketplace in fall, 2004.
