(272 views) | | | Tasted by bourgogre on 12/28/2019: Rouge clair. Robe légèrement trouble.
Bordeaux rive-droite facile et léger.
Attaque résineuse, mais sans rugosité.
Un vrai «luncheon» Bordeaux, simple,
salin, avec une touche d'anis et de poivre blanc en milieu de bouche.
Arrière goût de groseille en finale.
Il est plus que temps de le finir !
(**+) (962 views) | | | Tasted by ManuKey on 9/27/2018 & rated 88 points: Un vin à la robe trouble, rubis moyen. Le nez est bien épicé, un peu bandaid avec le style nature reconnaissable, des fleurs séchés, le poivre et la réglisse. La bouche est fluide et bien fondu, avec de petits tanins, et une acidité presque tonique. Milieu de bouche avec une légère salinité, se dirigeant vers une finale de moyenne longueur sur de fins amers. Belle fraicheur. Fait un peu penser à un Henri Milan avec quelques années dans le corps! Très bon. Produit en biodynamie. (658 views) | | | Tasted by poste244 on 6/16/2017 & rated 88 points: Du Cabernet Franc bordelais en biodynamie. C'est intriguant et dans l'ensemble c'est réussi, mais c'est un vin à attendre encore. C'est astringent en finale. J'ai beaucoup aimé par-contre la fraîcheur et la digestibilité. (12,5% alcool sur l'étiquette et 12% sur la contre-étiquette...)Des notes salines un peu étonnante en bouche sur du fruit rouge avec des notes de cuir. On sent une grande vitalité. Malgré le bouchon très imbibé qui inquiète un peu, je dirais que ce rouge a ce qu'il faut pour être attendu au moins jusqu'en 2020 (1222 views) | | | Tasted by Tige on 4/22/2017 & rated 89 points: Au début les tannins étaient assez serrés mais après quelques heures en carafe ça s'est adoucie. Le vin avait encore de la structure même après plus de 6h en carafe ainsi que le lendemain. D'un rouge grenat assez pâle, ce 100 % cabernet franc est très intrigant au nez (ça sent le vieux Bordeaux on dirait). Bon QPR, à regoûter dans quelques années... (976 views) |
| Red Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon Rimmerman |
