Château Doyac, 2019

Juicy and Fresh Haut Medoc - Cru Bourgeois Superieur 

"The 2019 Doyac is a little gem. Lovely, pure black cherries and red plummy fruit feature on the nose, which is discreet at first and then opens with aeration. The palate is soft and fleshy, offering plenty of vivacious red fruit and just a touch of spiciness toward the persistent finish. Probably costing not a fortune, this comes recommended." 
-Neal Martin

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Max de Pourtalès came back to his Bordeaux origins by acquiring in 1998 the château Doyac located in the Haut-Médoc appellation in Saint Seurin de Cadourne. His wife, Astrid, gave up her life in New York on the theatre scene to be on his sides in this new adventure. They both fell in love with this vineyard the origins of which date back to 1850 as related in the Féret Book ``Bordeaux et ses vins``.
The vines as well as the cellars have been greatly renovated. Since the enlargement of the vineyard in 2009, Max de Pourtalès built a new storing cellar and a new barrel cellar aiming at optimizing the wine making. Moreover Max de Pourtalès can now receive journalists as well as tourists fond of wine and pizzas in in his new tasting room with a professional pizza oven. Everything is there to enable this vineyard to express itself in the best way possible.
