Sigalas Rabaud Size:24x375ml Au Vellé and En Champs

Au Vellé and En Champs

This will require a few years of bottle age to be at its best

but on July 19th everything changed and the year was saved by some 40 liters of rain

Sweet red berry and spice notes linger on the delicate finish

turning to tangerine

Sigalas Rabaud Size:24x375ml Au Vellé and En ChampsThe 2009 Sigalas Rabaud has a rather light bouquet that lacks the intensity of its peers. It needs more vigour. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, nicely balanced and lightly spiced with ginger and rhubarb towards the finish. I have encountered better bottles in the past, hence my question mark. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
