Château de Reignac
Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
2016 vintage. Nothing mentioned on the website, but this seems a blend with Merlot dominance. The owner was keen on challenging the big boys in Bordeaux and was subsequently sued for misleading advertising. He lost the trial, but nevertheless this is a very good entry level Bordeaux Supérieur for the price (9,90 euro). Good fruit concentration, civilised oak handling and more than decent length. Not complex, but easy to like and great value.

Big surprise. Very impressed.
Primal nose with cigar and coffee notes. Makes sense since the dominant grape is merlot, with cab sauv as the remainder. Very ripe on the palette. Tannins are prominent and not yet integrated, which belies the quality of the wine. Love the fruit profile of ripe cherries, that contrast with bright acidity. This is a very polished example of a Bordeaux supérieur. Loads of runway ahead of it.
@Mo Salem thanks for opening up your cellar.

Today I am tasting the 2005 Chateau de Reignac Bordeaux Superior Red Blend. This was given to me by a very good friend for Memorial Day.
The color is a beautiful deep garnet. On the nose are dark fruits, fig, black plum, blackberry, black currant, raisins, bakers chocolate and licorice.
The dark fruit continues on through to the palate. Ripe black plum, blackberry, black currant, black cherry, clove, licorice and it is very earthy.
This right bank Bordeaux is full bodied with medium acidity and there is a mouth full of sandy, sweet medium + tannins.
This is a nice blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Given that this is a 2005 vintage makes for a very enjoyable Bordeaux Blend.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷
