Bratanov Winery, Private Reserve Merlot 2017 Bordeaux Alexandre Chartogne is a disciple

Alexandre Chartogne is a disciple of the legendary Anselme Selosse and this influence shows in the concentrated and powerful styles of Champagne he produces

yet maintains a mouth-staining inkiness to provide a long and satisfying finish with a persistent orange-rind like acid backbone

the finish is incredibly persistent and characterized by the unmistakable hint of bitter almond

The nose is a bouquet of aromas which has evolved over the 5 years of aging in our cellars

black cherry and currant flavours mingling with dark chocolate: rich yet supple with a plush finish
