Château d’Agassac Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2022
Gentle white pepper spice, fennel, cocoa bean and smoked caramel, this shows structure and grip that translates to high austerity in the tannins right now. Give it time as there are pretty violet and peony notes as it opens up, but it struggles to expand through the mid palate. Just beginning the works of building a hotel on the estate. 60% new oak for ageing, gravel soils, with a section of sandy gravel, Gerard Jicquel owner. 35hl/h yield. 50% new oak, 40% stainless steel vats, 10% amphora for ageing.
