Cru Monplaisir
Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
I took this bottle of Cru Monplaisir 2015 Bordeaux up to Melbourne recently to share with family friends, and boy did it go down a treat! It’s a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
“Monplaisir is a Bordeaux Superieur adjacent to the appellation of Margaux. It is this proximity the French Vineprestigious appellation that makes this wine incredible value for the money.” $42 per bottle.
On the eye it’s a wonderfully enticing shade of garnet. On the nose it’s full of blackberries, plums and cherries with hints of tar and leather books. In the mouth it has a super silky smooth texture with hints of dark chocolate, black fruits, elegantly integrated spiced oak and suave tannins. Mmm 👌
I received this sample from frenchvine.com.au who import this wine and a selection of other great French wine into Australia 🍷🇫🇷
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample #tcweekdaywine

Very smooth Merlot + Cab blend for the price. Vineyards apparently neighbor Margaux.

Very clean and smooth Bordeaux. Hint of red berry trying to pop through. Decent for the price and very pleasing. Let sit 45 and drink within another 45.

Smooth, a bit of garrique and bramble, red fruit profile. I liked the tannins and finish.

Feeling fancy, cheating our usual Malbec for a smooth full & rich bordeaux! Will pair well with Brussel Sprouts, meat & cheese plate and zucchini empanadas
