Cru Bourgeois 2014 tasting: savvy consumers take note (Office of the Alliance de Cru Bourgeois, downtown Bordeaux): Coming from the northern Médoc, where rain came at the wrong time in 2015, this is a case of a better 2014. Half Merlot, half Cabernet Sauvignon with 13% alcohol, this is a smooth – even easy going – wine which comes across as less aggressive than some northern Médocs with harder tannins. Made from rather high yields (over 50 hectolitres per hectare), yet very flavorful. Savvy consumers should seek this one out.
