Château Clos Moulin Pontet AOC Bordeaux Superieur
A ripe flavoursome wine with mellow vanilla oak, cooked black cherry fruits and floral notes. This wine has lots of appeal. On the palate, blueberry flavours emerge and continue to linger while the wine has a grainy powdery texture. Made by Éric Meynaud, from his vineyards in the east of the Entre-Deux-Mers region at Massugas and Landerrouat.
Chateau Tour Bel-Air Tradition AOC Fronsac Vignobles Lascaux
Sylvie and Fabrice Lascaux own and tend 5.5 hectares of Merlot grapes in Fronsac, an appellation which sits on the right bank of the Dordogne River, close to Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Their 2016 Château Tour Bel-Air has a spicy bouquet with savoury marmite notes combined with dried fruits. It is round and smooth with a lifted acidity giving balance and no use of oak.
Chateau Les Tuileries AOC Bordeaux Rouge
The limestone soils at Château Les Tuileries produce firm structured reds more age-worthy than most estates in the Entre-Deux-Mers. The 2016 expresses Parma violet and dark chocolate aromas and remains youthful and tight on the palate with a fine texture. Surprisingly, this wine is predominantly Merlot, its vibrant linear style suggesting more Cabernet Sauvignon, showing the impact of the limestone plateau.
