Château des Fougères
Clos Montesquieu Red Bordeaux Blend



Beautiful aromas with Cabernet leading the way. Ripe dark and red fruit, savory and herbal with dried flowers , vanilla, spices, and slight brett that blew off after 5-10 mins in glass. Very silky tannin with medium acid and medium finish. Solid performance, I believe 60/40 cab/merlot blend...

Lots of violets, dried flower notes. Took a day to really open up but very pleasurable bottle once the austerity wears off.

This is what the French do so much better than the US: inexpensive but honest Cab/Merlot. Open nose has smoky gravel, plummy fruit, and the palate is seamless and totally in balance. Just enough ripeness. Only 13%. Nice acids. Perfect with Peruvian roast chicken take out.

Graves, 2015, fat and sassy and some peat moss. Cabernet Sauvignon and whatever. At $19 can’t complain.

Honest cab merlot blend. Chewy, some fat but has cut and acidity. Value

Mild and fruity with a bit of tannin. My children gave me for father's day gift.

Nose was very Carmenere- like. Green peppers dominated. Deep purple color, lightly tannic. Thought it was a little thin mid- palate, but I liked it better than similar Bordeaux reds.
