Premières Côtes de Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend

Vintage2015 / what a seductive smell... even so young... most merlot, cabernet sauvignon... clay and limestone soil... 50 km away north of the city of Bordeaux. Pierre Ardoin is an oenologist at the University. Seductive red fruits in smell. An impression of plums. Vibrant and velvety taste. No need to cellar 😉 when the wine is so good at the moment. #blaye #bordeaux Tasted with a pasta porcini. Good combination.

Love cotes de Blaye. A perfect example glluuuuup

Hans had this 11 years ago

Well made. I'm not a fan of Bordeaux. Trying to be objective.

A less expensive Bordeaux red blend that is dry with nice tannins and a full body.

after 15 years still a really drinkable Bordeaux. What a surprise!

Ligero de cuerpo

Nice flavor to go along with steak or a heavy dish. Tastes best when decanted and left to breathe

Good but nothing outrageous

Good everyday value Bordeaux. Merlot dominant . Plenty of blackcurrant and plum on the nose. Also some noticeable cocoa from the integration with the wood.
