Overview

• Cap Royal takes its name from the royal Cordouan lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse of Europe, situated at the entrance of Gironde Estuary. This 14th-century beacon once signaled safe passage to Bordeaux wine merchants, returning home after sharing the great wines of Bordeaux with the world. Cap Royal benefits from the expertise of Jean René Matignon, winemaker of Château Pichon Baron, Grand Cru Classé Pauillac.

Tasting Notes:

• Beautiful red cherry color brightened with some purplish reflections of Merlot. The complex and explosive nose reveals intense aromas of red fruits (redcurrant and cherries) which become more complex with subtle hints of spices. On the palate, creaminess and fullness are the main characteristics of this wine, dominated by a delicate woody finish.
