Varietal Birthplace Year
Merlot Bordeaux AOC 2008
Bordeaux may be the source of some of the most exorbitantly priced first-growth wines in the world but it also produces more modest, easy-going wines that are of exceptional quality. The delicious Château du Cavalier shows classic cassis, licorice and graphite aromas and flavors of red and black currants with cedary notes.
Red and black currant, chocolate, graphite, bell pepper.
A family estate located in in the wine region based around the town of Blaye, Château du Cavalier sits on about 30 acres of vineyards. The Premières Côtes de Blaye appellation was created in 1936 and, as is usual for the area, the grapes planted are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the latter making up a majority of vines. On Bordeaux’s right bank, it is common to see higher percentages of Merlot, as that softer variety seems to prefer the deeper, heavier soils. In contrast, the left bank wines see higher percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend.
Château du Cavalier’s relatively high percentage of Merlot gives it a bit of versatility. Braised meats and savory stews are a good choice but it could match well with lamb rib chops or even rotisserie chicken. Of course you can’t go wrong with grilled steaks with a little pepper and salt and subtle herb flavoring.
In Great Britain Bordeaux wines are called Claret and have been favored at dinner tables for centuries.
