60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot Chateau Bourbon La Chapelle is a special selection of grapes from the 63-hectare Chateau Castera vineyard in the Medoc. The history of the Chateau Castera stretches back to the 14th century, making it one of Medoc’s oldest vineyards. From that same period, there also stands a remarkable tower that overlooks the village. These long-standing wines have a rich legacy. Thomas de Montaigne, the brother of the philosopher, Messire La Boetie, was one of the estates most prestigious owners. In the 17th century, a splendid chapel – that eventually lent its name to Chateau Bourbon La Chapelle – was constructed. Dark ruby color with lovely aromas of black currants and red fruits with notes of leather, tobacco and cedar. It is medium-bodied on the palate with excellent balance and rounded tannins on the finish.
