Château Cru Godard 2022 Francs Côtes de Bordeaux

The Estate: Pioneer of Organic in Bordeaux

Château Cru Godard, located on the hills of the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, is passionately managed by the Carreau family. Certified Organic for over 20 years, the estate prioritizes respectful soil work and minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the clay-limestone terroir to express itself fully.

The 2022 Vintage: Power and Balance

The year 2022 was marked by generous sunshine, resulting in grapes of perfect maturity. Thanks to the elevated location of the Francs appellation, the wine retains a superb mineral tension that balances the richness of the fruit.

Tasting Notes

• Color: An intense garnet color with purple reflections.

• Nose: Very expressive, it reveals enticing aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), black cherry, complemented by subtle notes of licorice and violet.

• Palate: The attack is round and fleshy. The wine unfolds a beautiful silky texture with well-integrated tannins. The finish is fresh, persistent, and marked by an elegant spicy touch.
