Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

juicy goodness

Great bottle, will be even better in a few years

Sophisticated Bordeaux blend with hints of sweet and toasty new oak backed up with ripe blacks richness.

A really nice red🍷

No notes - nye dinner. A bit oaky for my taste but great vintage. Ok with duck confit.

Paired with pork tenderloin, merguez sausage, pork dumplings and yellowtail tuna

Tobacco and cherry upfront. Acid is moderate to high. Undertones of raisin with a very smooth finish. One of the best Medocs I have had. Price and quality ratio is very high. Would recommend.

Another solid vintage of this Haut-Medoc Bordeaux. Blend of Merlot (57%), Cabernet Sauvignon (31%) and Petite Verdot (13%). Very dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of violets, fresh herbs and plums. Pallet notes plum and blueberry fruit flavors with hints of black licorice and cocoa. Very fruit forward, savory and fresh tasting with a bit of creamy tannin on the long finish. A pleasant and slightly chalky texture.

Balanced and minerals that has become expected from the region.

One of many Cru Bourgeois from Haut-Medoc. I do believe they are “leading the pack” among Bordeaux appellations.
