Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, is home to some of the most famous ch\u00e2teaux in the world of wine. Their exceptional terroir and superlative wines have long reigned as some of the most sought after and investment-worthy.<\/p>\n
The majority of Bordeaux wines are dry, red blends from Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon or Cabernet-Franc.<\/p>\n
The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great ch\u00e2teaux of the Left Bank (higher in tannins, alcohol and acidity, more on Cabernet) like Pauillac, Margaux, St Estephe or St Julien and the Right Bank (softer, less tannic and lower in alcohol and acidity. Merlot is the dominant grape), appellations of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. They are complemented by high-quality white wines (particularly from Pessac-Leognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Only sold per OWC – Original Wooden Case of 6.<\/em><\/p>\n “The nose on this already suggests a deep and contemplative wine with blackberry, dried flowers and sweet berries. Evolves to black olive and hints of asphalt. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and tangy, rich fruit. It really grabs hold of you and wants to tell you it’s special. Loads of ripe tannins too. Big and structured. Turns to tapenade.” – Wine Spectator<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7104,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
