This is a brand new BASF Exklusiv Bordeaux produced by the young and very talented winemaker Thomas Hervé. Thomas is owner of Château Moulin Haut-Laroque, Château Hervé Laroque and Château La Communion. In the traditonal wine business of Bordeaux he is one of the rising stars. The name of this cuvee Louis XVI is a tribute to the former owners Louis and Anoinette Seize (Seize means sixteen in French).
This blend selected by BASF consits of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are smoth and soft typical for a great vintage like 2020 was. The wine is already drinkable but with a good capacity for storing for the next 5-10 years.
