Château de Reignac
Reignac Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
Wine has completely fallen flat. Perfectly stored from release. Surprising and disappointing.

Still has a lot of life
Internet info,
Located in the Entre-deux-Mers region (in Saint-Loubès), the Château Reignac was built in the 16th century by Seigneur Baude de Peyron. Since 1990, it has been owned by Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot who elevated it, within a few years, to being one of the best domaines in Bordeaux with the help of the consultant oenologist Michel Rolland. The vineyard extends over 80ha in one piece; it is planted mostly with Merlot, but also Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and, over 2 ha, Sauvignon and Sémillon. In a few years this domaine could impose its style and show the full potential of its appellation. It is now recognised as one of the jewels of the region, able to rival the renowned crus of Bordeaux.
About the cuvée
This grand vin is two-thirds Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Harvested from vines around 40 years old, it is aged in barrels for up to 19 months.

Slightly better with time in the glass... A bit heavy on the oak. On the decline?

Great wine with fruity flavor and medium-heavy body. Slightly smoky flavor, good balance tannin. Had it with steak, which is really matching.
