Description
Located at the foot of the south/south-west slope of Saint Emilion, the vineyard of Château Daugay benefits from sunshine that favors the maturity of the grapes. The 5.5-hectare property owned by Jean-Bernard Grenié and Hélène de Bouard takes its name from the jay bird, in patois, “Daou gay”. The wine is made from blend of 60% Merlot, 32% Cabernet-Franc and 8% Cabernet-Sauvignon and is aged for 16 months in mix of 25% new oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Notes :
Bramble fruit aromas on the nose, softly perfumed and concentrated. Bright and juicy on the palate, succulent strawberry and raspberry with elements of milk chocolate that give a creamy and round aspect to the palate. Tannins are fine and well integrated just giving a touch of chew to the fruit. Some liquorice and cedar notes towards the end with a cooling saline finish that’s well presented and appealing.
