Château Lajarre Cuvée Eleonore Bordeaux Supérieur 2016

This Bordeaux Supérieur is produced by the Château Lajarre estate located southeast of Saint Émilion. In 2005, the doctor Grégory Lovato, aged 29 at the time, took possession of the winery in order to continue his grandparents’ legacy of wine-making. The Château Lajarre Cuvée Eléonore is an assemblage consisting of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc so typical of right-bank Bordeaux wines. This wine shows good fruit and simultaneously enough structure to enjoy it right now or in 2-3 years.

Of course, the year 2016 also plays a special role in this cuvée; rarely have there been, even at the level of Bordeaux Supérieur, such expressive and distinctive wines as in this exceptional vintage.

The wine is a lovely, brilliant and clear red in the glass. It is powerful on the nose, offering aromas of red currants and strawberries, nuances of cherries and subtle hints of cassis and toast. It is elegant on the palate, with lots of fruit such as blackberries, as well as cassis and caramelized hazelnuts together with beautifully balanced, well-integrated tannins and a counterbalancing acidity. The finish is soft and medium-long.

This wine is a real insider’s tip, showing the spirit of a Saint-Émilion; its body and price are those of a Bordeaux Supérieur.

We recommend enjoying the Château Lajarre Cuvée Eléonore 2016 with spicy meals, braised dishes, pasta or ripe cheeses.

Château Guillon-Nardou Bordeaux AOP
Dieser Rotwein aus der AOC Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux ist eine Assemblage aus 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc und 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Die Rebstöcke, auf bestem Kalk-Sandstein Terroir gelegen, sind im Schnitt 30 Jahre alt. Michel und Rina Guillon sind die Besitzer dieses uralten Familienbetriebs, der 10 ha Rebgarten umfasst und seit vier Generationen von Vater zu Sohn weitergegeben wird.Dem Wein merkt man die Hingabe seiner Schöpfer an. Im Glas begrüßt uns ein tiefes und funkelndes Dunkelrot. Der Guillon-Nardou zeigt eine reiche Palette von dunklen Beeren, Johannisbeeren und Brombeeren, etwas Cassis und Tabak. Am Gaumen sehr rund und voluminös, mit schöner Struktur und sehr geschliffenen Tanninen. Der Nachhall ist wunderbar lang.Ein toller „Every-day“-Bordeaux, mit einem sagenhaften Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Er ist jetzt nach etwa einer Stunde Dekantieren trinkreif, ist aber mindestens noch bis 2025 in seinem Zenit.Zu Wild, Pasta, gereiftem Käse oder mit Freunden eine echte Empfehlung!

Astéries du Roc Bordeaux Rouge 2019
Der Astéries du Roc 2019 ist etwas ganz besonderes. Er stammt vom seit 100 Jahren in Familienbesitz befindlichen Château Roc de Levraut, südlich von Saint Émilion. Doch was ist das? Ein reinrassiger Cabernet Sauvignon vom rechten Ufer Bordeauxs? Und was für einer!Der Wein verdankt seinen Namen dem Terroir, auf dem er entsteht. Astéries bedeutet "Seesterne" auf Französisch und dieses Sediment bildete vor ca. 30 Millionen Jahren den sehr speziellen Untergrund, auf dem dieser Ausnahme-Rebsaft gedeiht.Der 2019er Astéries du Roc ist von tiefdunkler, roter Farbe. In der Nase ein schöner Fruchtkorb von roten Beeren, Himbeeren, Cassis, Lakritz und leicht salzige Anklänge, sowie Schokolade. Insgesamt viel wunderbare rote Frucht, die durch eine gute Säure gegenbalanciert wird. Am Gaumen saftig, mit einer mittelschweren Struktur, auch hier wieder viel Frucht, die in den geschliffenen Tanninen einen gekonnten Gegenpart findet. Der Nachhall ist erstaunlich lang und schokoladig.Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis dieses Bordeaux ist erstklassig und die Familie Ballarin, die den Wein produziert, sorgte sogar dafür, dass der Astéries du Roc mit dem Umweltsiegel "Haute Valeur Environnementale" ausgezeichnet wurde.
