I want to present you with one of my personal favorite varieties from a brilliant but lesser-known vineyard: the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux. Hailing from a region well known for its glorious chateaux and amazing wine, these grapes are grown on the right bank of the Garonne in a clay-limestone soil. This 2016 vintage is made from 75% merlot and 25% cabernet sauvignon, resulting in a beautiful dark red color with a strong and robust flavor. The mouth texture is strong and velvety with a slightly wooded finish and notes of game and chocolate.
