2016 vintage. Cru Bourgeois Médoc. While this is undoubtedly a nice wine for 9,90 euro, I am convinced that there is so much more potential in estates like this, but maybe they are not willing to make the necessary (big?) investments to achieve greater heights. Well-made medium bodied Bordeaux that lacks the concentration and depth (especially in a great vintage like 2016) that one would expect for a Cru Bourgeois. But a very quaffable wine that is outperformed by many wines in more humble Bordeaux appellations.

Quite a surprise, despite its age this stood up really well - just goes to show Cru Bourgeois can go the distance.

Nice easy drinking right bank bordeaux. Perfect with the Zaanlander 48+ cheese. Soft but penetrating tannins, dark fruit that was typical old country style staying on the straight and narrow. Limited finish.
