Chateau Les Songes 2022 is a wine that showcases the
unique characteristics of its vintage and terroir. Although I don't have
tasting notes specific to that vintage, I can provide a general idea of what
one might expect from a wine from Chateau Les Songes, which is typically known
for:
Appearance: A deep, rich color, often with a purplish hue
indicating youth.
Nose - Aromas of ripe red and dark fruits such as
cherries, plums, and blackberries. Hints of floral notes and spice, with
nuances of vanilla or cedar from oak aging. Earthy and mineral undertones may
be present, reflecting the terroir.
Palate - A smooth, well-balanced mouthfeel with medium to
full body. Flavors may mirror the nose with ripe fruits complemented by a
refreshing acidity. Tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without
overwhelming the fruit.

Cabernet Franc
Green bell peppers, fine tannins, red and blackberriesAs one of the most ancient and important varieties in the Bordeaux family, Cabernet Franc often fades in the limelight of its offspring; Cabernet Sauvignon. In comparison, Cabernet Franc is often lighter, less intense, and more aromatic.It is often tasted together with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as the famous Bordeaux blend; a mix that is said to utilize the grape’s attractiveness. When going solo, Cabernet Franc produces tasty wines in cool and challenging areas, such as Washington (US) and Long Island (New Zealand).The Italian version,
Merlot
Known as Cabernet Sauvignon’s partner in crime, Merlot is a soft, fleshy and easy to grow grape that ripens easily, which makes it one of the world’s most planted wine grapes. This plummy little chum makes a lovely blend with said partner-in-crime, softening the tannic structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, while adding fruit and flesh to the mix.Climate has a lot to say about the taste of Merlot.
