Winemaker Notes
"A sleeper of the vintage from the Cotes de Bourg, this dense, ruby/purple-colored offering shows plenty of black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, earth, and even a hint of truffle. The wine is medium-bodied, pure, and nicely textured. Drink it over the next 6-7 years." - Wine Advocate
Professional Ratings
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
