2015 vintage. The Southafrican Jonck family produces mainly Blaye wines, but this "Les Cèdres" is their Côtes de Bourg. 100% Merlot. Ripe cherries, strawberry jam and some spiciness. Round, ripe, very charming with velvety tannins and good length. Delicious and well worth the 15 euros price tag. Abv. 14,5%. — 4 years ago

Guys night (with my 8 year old). Dirty socks and leather on the nose. $20. No complaints with the lamb chops. — 7 years ago

Round, rich and caramel-y! But with the balancing acidity that makes these jura wines shine so brightly. Loved it — 5 months ago

2014 vintage. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30%Merlot and equal parts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged 16 months in barriques (30% new). Cassis, cedar wood and a dash of clove and black pepper. Medium-bodied, with fresh fruit, tannin with a slightly rough edge, and good spicy length. Good value at 13 euros. Unfortunately owner Bernard Lartigue passed away in October 2020. His very young daughter Alice-Jeanne is now in charge. — 3 years ago

A bit earthy. I didn’t like it at the first sip but it very quickly grew on me. — 10 months ago

Tasted at the producer, this is a primeur / pleasure to drink young vintage. 100% Cabernet-Franc. Light purple color, clear and limpid. Raspberry and herbaceous nose. Supple mouth blending raspberry, notes of cedar, cypress.
Slightly acidity, but the typical Touraine mineral structure, reminiscent of slate, pencil lead, or charcoal, bringing a refreshing salivating tension. On salads, aperitif-dinners, cold meats, cheese pastas, it's easy to drink, and pleasant.

Goûté chez le producteur, c’est une cuvée primeur/plaisir à boire jeune. 100% Cabernet-Franc. Robe pourpre légère, claire et limpide. Nez framboise et herbacé. Bouche souple mêlant, framboise, notes de cèdres, cyprès.
Acidité peu marquée mais la trame minérales typique de la Touraine, évoquant l’ardoise, la mine de crayon, ou le charbon, apportant une tension salivante rafraîchissante. Sur des salades, apéro-dînatoire, charcuterie, pastas fromage, c’est facile à boire, et plaisant. — 4 years ago
