Tasting Notes

The 2017 Château de L’Hospital Graves Rouge displays a bright ruby‑red hue with youthful clarity and energetic vibrancy, opening on the nose with ripe red fruits of cherry, raspberry, and subtle blueberry interlaced with toasted cocoa, mocha, and delicate rosehip, while hints of gentle spice and smoky pepper add depth. On the palate, it is supple and smooth, the plush red fruit complemented by fine-grained, mellow tannins and nuanced notes of cocoa and a savoury edge, carrying through a mid-palate that balances structure and elegance. The finish is persistent and harmonious, with lingering spicy, toasty, and cedar-tinged chocolate notes, leaving an overall impression of freshness, refinement, and poised complexity.
