2016 vintage. One of the best wines to be found under the humble "Bordeaux Supérieur" appellation. Very elegant with bright crisp red fruit and a minty freshness. Impeccable balance and very good length. As always very reliable. Highly recommended.

A blend of Merlot (40%), Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (25%). Not for label drinkers since it is a humble Bordeaux Supérieur, but punching well above its weight. Refined and classy, this is all about subtlety. This medium-bodied elegant wine is in a very good place now, but should age well. Nice long fresh minty finish. Very good value at 15 euros.

This is a Bordeaux from St. Emilion that punches well above its weight. Rich fruit with retreating tannins make it a very enjoyable wine.
