More information about Allée Bleue L'Amour Toujours 2017
Fine aromas of fynbos, cigar box and cedar, wrapped in fruity blackberry - already on the nose, Allée Bleue L'Amour Toujours shows that it is the best red wine of the estate. On the palate, the blend of Cabernet Franc (38%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Merlot (19%) and Petit Verdot (7%) is no less impressive and complex. Notes of dark chocolate and cinnamon give the wine a rather spicy flavor, while elegant and soft tannins provide a pleasant mouthfeel. Even neat, Allée Bleue L'Amour Toujours wraps every red wine lover around its finger, but also with duck or dark meat with sweet potatoes, the wine, aged for eighteen months in French oak, is always a good choice.

The estate was founded in 1690 by Huguenots who had fled from France. It owes its current name to the majestic "blue" eucalyptus trees that grace the estate's driveway. In 1999, the Dauphin family of German entrepreneurs acquired the ALLÉE BLEUE estate, which at that time was still known as MEERRUST. With a lot of pioneering spirit, they revitalized the estate, which was founded in 1690 and has an area of 150 hectares and had not produced a noble drop for over 100 years. Today the red and white wines of ALLÉE BLEUE are internationally recognized and belong to the top class. The vines we cultivate thrive on sandstone soils interspersed with shell limestone. Combined with the almost Mediterranean climate and the abundance of sunshine hours they enjoy,...
