16½/20
Maison Blanche Medoc 2009
Bordeaux, FranceThis is one of the best value cru Bourgeois we have seen in years in B.C. The 80/20 merlot/ cabernet sauvignon mix is put together by highly regarded winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt who works with 90 some wineries around the world. The soils are a diverse mix of gravel and clayey limestone. The fruit is ripe but with a juicy red fruit tinge underneath. The palate is dense and weighty with smoky, spicy, dark fruit flavours with a black liquorice finish. Impress weight and structure if a touch alcoholic. Good value and a wonderful bottle for BC wineries to contemplate regarding price and quality. Tasted: 01 February 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml |
