Depending on the vintage, he allows the wine to macerate on the skins for three to four weeks to optimise the extraction of color and aromas. Ch. Fleur de Jean Gue is aged in oak caks, of which about one third are new each year, for 12 months before bottling. The wine is packed with sweet cherry and blackberry fruit with hints of vanilla and spice from the stylish use of oak. Its supple fruit and attractive texture make Ch. Fleur de Jean Gue a perfect, Merlot-based wine for current enjoyment with fowl, red meats, grilled fish and cheeses. It also represents exceptional value.
