1998 Pin Beausoleil - "Vin de
Garage" ,
Bordeaux, France
1998 Pin Beausoleil "garage wine "
80%
Merlot
/ 10%
Cabernet
Sauvignon / 10'000 bt - 6'000 square meter.
Le Pin-Beausoleil is owned by Arnaud Pauchet since 1996 and 1998 is the first vintage totally monitored by Derenoncourt. The curiosity about this 1998
vintage is that both Cabernets were deposited in the same vat and grown together. The result is astonishing!
Deep
purple colour. The
nose
delicately
reveals red fruits and citrus
aromas.
The wine is relatively concentrated,
rich and fruity
with an
elegant
finish.
Very
fresh
and feminine.
87 / 100.
This bottle is actually worth around 30 EUR; undoubtedly an excellent price / quality ratio (will that last with all the current frenzy around the "garage wines"? - Lets hope Parker doesn't discover this one too soon!).
