A well-balanced, well-structured, medium-to-full-bodied Bordeaux. This wine is rich with fresh black fruit and soft integrated tannins. Complete with aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, dark plum, black cherry, licorice, and cedar with a beautifully persistent finish. The Auguste Rouge was awarded 90 points by James Suckling in both 2015 and 2016. Château Auguste is an approachable and exquisite Bordeaux in the whole sense of the word. Merlot is the dominant grape, and Cabernet Sauvignon plays a supporting role, adding complexity to this great wine. This is a magnificent and versatile wine that can be paired with steak, veal, venison, and poultry or pasta dishes.
