Château de Myrat is always a solid value and safe in sweet white Bordeaux wines. Its elegant and traditional concept is linked to the family name Pontac, one of whom, Jean de Pontac , founded in 1533 the field of Haut-Brion, defined as land for the cultivation of the vine. A century later it was Arnaud de Pontac , former winemaker addition, the first president of the parliament of Bordeaux, who coined the first expressions of high-quality Bordeaux wine and who started the first export line with England. Pontac
The family continues to this day, remain at the forefront of several wine estates in Bordeaux. One is the Château de Myrat, purchased by Count Max Pontac in 1937 and located in the Upper Barsac, limestone plateau.
Made from a blend semillon majority of the range, with notes of sauvignon blanc and Muscadelle, the grape is crafted by subjecting the fruit to a careful selection. Aging in oak barrels, with one third renewed annually. Annual production of approximately forty thousand bottles. The twenty hectares of vineyard Château de Myrat has special status and the limestone terrain where they settle favor the creation of a wine firm, frank and full of expression. In its advance
2010 vintage, this wine offered me the following personal conclusions: golden yellow color with some notes and slight greenish gloss, opulent nose with fruity aromas marked by the melon and apricot. Is expressed in the mouth with an initial touch of sweetness well marked, opening then still reflects its acidity blur. It is rich, very fruity. Your journey begins to be nice and elegant, but yet to finish. Without a doubt, achieved in the future. I think it has to be a foundation for great wine. Shows great purity and concentration instinct. Good persistence. Yielding citrus aftertaste memories, together with a note of white fruit with bone. Since the end I find the typical mineral tone High Barsac plateau, appearing clear notes of stone and earth. Some salinity. A great wine that with patience, will be a great year of Myrat.
Highly recommended.
