Merlot dominates the final blend as a round, generous gourmandise. The freshness and acidity of the condensed red fruit aromas give the wine an aromatic expression of its own. Bearing the signature of the great terroirs of Haut-Médoc, the cabernet sauvignon gives the wine power, structure and complexity that will reveal itself after a few years of ageing. On the finish, notes of black fruits, raspberries and violet bring long, luscious velvety tannins to the palate. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, the wines of Château Bel Orme Tronquoy-de-Lalande are crunchy, charming and generous. Over time, they will fully express their finesse.
