Another wine from Château Ripeau is the 2015 Tour De Ripeau and it’s a blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc. From younger vine and designated parcels, made with an eye on elegance and tension, it offers pretty notes of ripe cherries, blueberries, fruit cake, and spice as well as medium body, fine tannin, and nicely integrated acidity. It shows a very pretty, graceful style and should keep or 10-15 years.

The 2015 Ripeau is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc that was picked between October 1-7 and matured in 100% new oak. The bouquet marks a melioration vis-a-vis older vintages, a little more refinement and precision coming through, just flirting with over-ripeness, but wisely choosing not to step over the line. The palate is medium-bodied, a little chewiness on the entry, but there is good depth and a clean and gently grippy finish. Watch out for future vintages of this estate owned by the Gregoire family.
