Chateau Symphony 2006

Origin of the name:

The wine is a blend of four varieties called “noble”: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah.

Like a symphony, where the sound of a particular instrument is no longer perceived individually, but nevertheless contributes to the final perception resulting from the merger of all the sounds of the other instruments.

It is the same for our blend, where each grape variety makes its particular note in this way.
