Presentation

Château Paradis Casseuil wines are characterised by fresh, fruity flavours and floral aromas. It can be enjoyed while still young.


The vintage

2012 was a vintage that required a great deal of vigilance from winegrowers. After a harsh winter, the cool spring delayed flowering. Fertilisation was hampered by the rain in early June, resulting in flower abortion and uneven grape size, and therefore lower yields. The wet weather and lack of sunshine continued until mid-July and then fortunately August and early September were hot and dry, with a substantial variation between day and night-time temperatures, enabling the ripening process to catch up and the grapes to be harvested in good conditions.

Tasting

Colour: Beautiful, very deep crimson colour.
Nose: Elegant and expressive, blending aromas of blackcurrant and Morello cherries with well-integrated, delicate woody (vanilla) notes.
Palate: This is a powerful, well-structured wine, with a pleasant sweetness on the attack, evolving with firm tannins and a long spicy finish.
