A great inexpensive Bordeaux that is made with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines grown on sandy soils near the Dordogne river. The grapes undergo a long two week maceration period which leads to a wine that abounds with red fruit flavors and has a fruity pleasant finish. This wine has been named one of the world’s greatest red wine values and is particular good in the 2003 vintage.

Tasting Notes:

Deep red color. Developed nose of cassis, raspberry and cherry. Very fruity on the mouth with fresh red fruit and earthy spice flavors leading to a nice, long finish. A very approachable and versatile wine thanks to the Merlot, but the smooth tannins give it staying power. Perfect with grilled meats, burgers, cheeses, and lamb. Can keep for another 2 to 3 years.
