A wine of great refinement and elegance, generous blackberry fruits and a smooth texture from wood ageing give this wine its richness and open character. The classic claret from the “left bank” Chateau Amour has, rightly, been recently upgraded to the level of Cru Bourgeois. Lovely berry fruit slight oak tones. On the palate there is a gentle elegance; firm fruit with nicely balanced soft dryness.
