Les Granges De La Perriere

Château des Granges D'Or

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose of blue and black fruits with light wood, spices, licorice, light earth, vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, earth and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and peppercorn.

This 7 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Complex and interesting.

I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except that the nose has become noticeably prettier.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly so be patient.

Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with grilled picanha.

A blend of 71% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25.

Lussac-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Nice dark color.

NOSE: dense cassis, blackberry, a bit of chalky minerals, a little cedar and spice, also some graphite. Restrained, but yum.

TASTE: too young, but good. Cassis, minerals, raspberry leaf, tannins remind me of bitter olives. A little lighter than I expected, but really quite good. Would love to try again in a few years. 92.

Château La Grange

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2015 vintage. Big. Full. Needs time. Lots of time. If drinking now, give it at least a two hour decant pre-consumption. Medium bodied with plenty of grip. Plenty of cherries, oak, plum with a splash of woodlands air and an infinitesimal schwing of Hawaiian Punch. Maan, these La Granges generally need two decades to resolve/settle down/marry/divorce. — 3 years ago

White Burgundy. More butter than oak but not offensive. It’s a winter white for Adria and me.

Pale gold color. Aromas of lemon, stone fruit and orange blossoms. Nicely structured Sauv Blanc- flavors of nectarine, peach, lemon and minerals.
