Varietal 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.

James Suckling

There’s a fresh and sleek feel to this ripe, sweetly fruited St.-Emilion, which offers a wealth of supple, attractive fruit, as well as a swathe of spicy oak. The palate is nicely weighted and carries good purity of blue fruit. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator

Focused, featuring a beam of dark currant and black cherry fruit, infused with black tea, graphite and smoldering tobacco notes. Reveals a light tug of loam at the very end. A little more shy than when tasted from barrel. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2024. 3,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
