Château Doyac, 2020

Delicious Cru Bourgeois that Captures the Essence of the Haut-Médoc Terroir

This wine boasts a deep ruby color and a vibrant aromatic profile of dark berries, cassis, and subtle oak. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of ripe fruit flavors, fine tannins, and a touch of spice, leading to a long and elegant finish. 

"Earthy red with notes of bark, olives, black fruit, and walnut husk. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy, caressing texture. Soft and juicy. 80% merlot, 12% cabernet sauvignon and 8% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification."

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.
