Merlot 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Cabernet Franc 10%. This classic Bordeaux blend comes from 36-hectare vineyards surrounding the village of Rions, southeast of Bordeaux. The 2012 Côtes de Bordeaux AOC Château Deville Rouge from Château Deville follows a slow fermentation with maceration for 24 days and aging in oak barrels. The wine is pale ruby red. The nose reveals a variegated bouquet of black cherry, plums, plums and berries, with a clear call of sweet spices. The sip is round, enveloping and rich. The freshness component is good. It closes quite long on sweet spicy notes.
