Description
Château de Bon Ami is a family-owned estate in Bordeaux’s Right Bank, with a reputation for crafting easy-drinking but richly rewarding reds. The Cuvée Hippolyte 2023 is a fine example, shaped by a vintage that produced exceptionally fruity wines.
This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon offers ripe black fruit, subtle spice and smooth tannins – everything Bordeaux fans could wish for, including exceptional value.
In the glass, it shows a clear ruby hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and a touch of red berry spice are framed by gentle oak notes. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe fruit at the core, supple tannins and a streak of fresh acidity. The strong vintage gives this balance and lift, making it approachable young yet structured enough to age a few years.
