Although I had seen this wine around a bit, I only got to taste it over the Christmas festivities. Chateau Bernadotte was acquired by Pichon Lalande in 1997 and the latter instituted a programme of extensive investment, renovation and replanting. This has raised the quality of the wines. When Pichon Lalande was acquired by Louis Roederer, Bernadotte followed suit, but it was bought by King Power Group (based here in Hong Kong) at the send of 2012.
As for the wine, it was a deep purple ruby with a sweet acid fruity nose. The sweet acid fruitiness followed through to the palate accompanied by a sprinkling of tannins. It was all supported by an acid mildly tannic backbone.
