Chateau La Bourree Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux

"Jean-Francois Meynard and Christelle Gauthier produce wine from three different Bordeaux appellations, all close to the Dordogne River; Côtes de Castillon, Saint Emilion and Entre-Deux-Mers. Both of their families have roots in their villages going back to the 19th century. Jean-Francois and Christelle have transformed their family’s business from selling grapes and wine in bulk to selling estate bottled wines."-Importer Wine Traditions' Website

This red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc comes from a vineyard located in the village of Saint Magne-de-Castillon. It sees one year in used barrels before being aged further in tanks for six months before bottling. All of this is evident in this rich, medium bodied, and lively blend of two classic grapes of Bordeaux. Red cherries and blueberries are evident, and you can also find notes of cedar shavings and spice.
