Owner's words
With its deep ruby colour, Château Rahoul 2023 reveals a complex nose of black fruit and spices, accompanied by a delicate hint of violet. Round from the outset, the palate develops into a fleshy wine with coated, sappy tannins. The finish is long and delicious, combining liquorice and spices with a touch of Petit Verdot, which completes the blend.
