Château Falfas AOC Côtes de Bourg 2012 is a unique expression brought forward by a nose focused on dark berries and red fruits.

First come the blackcurrant and blackberry aromas, quickly followed by floral notes.

Full-bodied on the palate, the texture lays on a silky tannin backbone as well as on the expression of a fresh ripe fruit.
