Médoc Cru Bourgeois (Xmas 25)

  • £24.95

Is there a more classic Christmas wine than Claret? This property has roots going back to 1660 and makes reliably good quality, traditional red Bordeaux. It’s versatile at the dinner table, and works with pretty much any roast meat you can name. At eight years of age, it’s drinking perfectly.

Tasting NotesAt 8 years of age, this is mature now, with aromas of cedar, cigar, cold ashes and blackberries. It has an enjoyable plumpness, herbal freshness and subtle ripe fruitiness that coats the mouth and provides some length. Finishes dry. Old school in the best sense.
