Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Saint Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, an esteemed appellation within Bordeaux's Left Bank, exemplifies the power and character of Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. What makes Saint-Estèphe unique is its robust and structured reds, primarily crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The region's maritime influence from the Gironde estuary, coupled with gravelly soils, imparts distinctive minerality and a pronounced tannic backbone to the wines. Home to renowned châteaux like Cos d'Estournel and Montrose, Saint-Estèphe wines showcase a deep, dark fruit profile, nuanced with cedar, tobacco, and earthy notes. Unlike some neighboring appellations, Saint-Estèphe's lack of a formal classification system underscores its commitment to quality across its diverse vineyards. Exploring Saint-Estèphe unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition, terroir, and a focus on the intrinsic character of Cabernet Sauvignon converge to create wines that resonate with strength, complexity, and the artistry of the region's winemakers.

The Wine Independent

Although now under the management of the team from Cos Labory, in this vintage they only did the final blend and bottling, so this is really a wine of the previous regime. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, with élevage in 50% new oak barrels. This was picked a week later than neighbours Cos d’Estournel, and has a higher alcohol concentration as a result, not to mention a very different aromatic profile, showing a quietly spoken, smoky and cedary nose with a rather sweet and delicately caramelised edge to the fruit. The palate shows the same sweet edge, with peppery grip and a sweet slightly confit core of dark berry and toasted fruits, laced with cedar and smoke, and a bold, peppery finish with lingering dry tannins. It shows the character of the vintage, for sure, and it is good for Cos Labory, but I expect better things in future under the new team. Tasted twice. The alcohol is 14.46%, with just 14% on the label.
