Tête de cuvée
Château La Grolet
L ike Quintessence, this selection always contains the two grape varieties Malbec and Merlot with the addition of some Cabernet Sauvignon. Fleshy and long on the palate, immediately displaying black fruit aromas and then developing mild tobacco and cocoa notes as it ages.
