“La Réserve” was the second wine of the Château Palais Cardinal until the vintage 2015. Fruitier, fresher and lighter than the first wine, it is perfect to discover the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru style. It is composed by a blending of the three traditional grape varieties from Bordeaux right bank : Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged in one year old barrels. Made to drink during the meal, with red meat, you can also appreciate this wine as an aperitif with cheese. Since the vintage 2016 “Château Palais Cardinal – La Réserve” is replaced by “Le Palatin de Château Palais Cardinal »
