Château la Besage Grande Cuvée 2018
Bergerac, Sud-Ouest, FranceAn actual Bordeaux blend from Bordeaux, Beasage pitches a fragrant soft silky texture and an equally pleasant nose of fully ripe black cherry, black plum, streaked with savoury tobacco and grilled meats. All that and more continue onto the palate that remains reserved and balanced through the finish. Impressively on the mark and a perfect mid week dinner wine you can count on now through 2026. Roasted beef, pork roast, or a steak would be the ideal match. Couleurs d'Aquitaine is a group of four cooperative cellars that has become one of the most important cooperatives in the South West, with 400 families tending 4000 hectares of vine. From Bergerac's clay-limestone soils, the mix is generally 70/20/10 merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc. Good value here.Tasted: 14 March 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
