In the heart of the "purple Perigord", whose name derives from the autumnal colors of the vine leaves, and which has become famous for its medieval castles and truffles, hides a jewel of the wine world: Château Thénac, a property of more than 200 hectares, located in the Thenac village. The latter was built on the ruins of a Benedictine priory dating from the 12th century, around which the monks created the current vineyard.
Since 2012, a hudge work has been done in order to identify the best soils and to developp new winemaking and ageing methods. The result is to the height of the efforts: the wines produced are of rare elegance, the "Château Thénac" range are vinified the spirit of the Bordeaux Grands Crus, while the cuvées "Fleur de Thénac" have a more modern style, with softness and aromatic finesse.
Velvet nose, with rich aromas of black fruit, dominated by blackcurrant, and slight notes of mint and pepper. Beautiful structure on the palate, tannins are fine, the finish is nicely wooded with a hint of vanilla.
Let yourself be seduced by its sweet scents of apricots, white peaches and exotic fruits wrapped by delicate jasmine fragrances. In the palate, the full-bodied juice is perfectly balanced by a nice acidity, the toasted notes of pineapple mix with delicious notes of exotic fruits. With a great elegance, the wine leaves us on a perfumed finish.
Beautiful and intense aromas of honey, nuts, bitter orange peel, quince paste and acacia flowers. The palate, well-balanced, long, tasty and complex, stretches into a salivating orange peel finish: an exquisite sweet wine.
