Manual harvesting and extended ageing in barriques give the wine added depth, while elegant tannins and a long finish provide balance and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays an intense deep-red colour. On the nose, it reveals generous aromas of ripe dark fruit complemented by notes of oak and vanilla.\n\nFull-bodied and rounded on the palate, it combines concentrated fruit with elegant tannins and a pronounced, lingering finish. The 2018 vintage can be enjoyed now, ideally with some aeration, and should continue to develop over the coming years if stored in suitable cellar conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes are harvested entirely by hand, allowing for careful selection in the vineyard. Following vinification, the wine is matured for 12 to 24 months in barriques, where the oak contributes its characteristic vanilla notes while helping to soften and integrate the tannins. Further details about the specific grape varieties and vineyard soils are not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Bordeaux red at approximately 16–18°C. Its full body and structured tannins make it a natural match for roast beef, grilled or braised lamb, duck, venison, and mature hard cheeses. Decant for around 30–60 minutes before serving to open the dark-fruit aromas and allow the oak and tannins to knit together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Hyot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54470219858257,"sku":"VDZ-10570077372752-53331337576784","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/hyot01014_2.jpg?v=1785610416","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/chateau-hyot-cotes-de-castillon-2018-1","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
