The Wine
Bordeaux produced lovely, fruit forward reds in 2015. Just take this velvety, plum rich drop from the team at Le Chai au Quai, a cellar beautifully situated on the river in Castillon. Chief winemaker there is Haut-Brion trained Jean-Marc Sauboua, a Bordelais with a brilliant network of contacts. For this wine he discovered three parcels of fine Merlot grapes from the superior Côtes de Bourg vineyards. So this wine may have standard 'Bordeaux' on the label, but in reality it's anything but. Crafted at Le Chai, with nine months ageing in oak barrels, the wine has smooth, ripe redcurrant flavours with a creamy roundness. Delicious, easy, ripe fruit, it's a versatile claret. Serve with chicken or pork casserole or cold meats and cheese.
