Les Allees du Chateau de la Grave Medoc AOC

Château La Grave, gelegen in der kleiner Ortschaft Blaignan, nahe Saint Estèphe, verfügt über ein herausragendes Terroir.
Les Allées du Château La Grave, ist der Zweitwein dieses Gutes. In einem Spitzenjahrgang wie 2015 steht dieser allerdings dem Grand Vin kaum nach und die Charaktäre beider Weine ähneln sich sehr. Der Les Allees wird aus 70% Merlot und 30% Cabernet Sauvignon und den Trauben jüngerer Reben hergestellt.

Der Wein ist wunderbar fruchtig und bereits schon jetzt gut trinkreif, hat aber ebenso auch noch das Potential für einige Jahre der Kellerreife.

Der Les Allees begrüßt den Kenner mit einem schönen Granatrot. In der Nase Pflaumen, Veilchen, Röstaromen und Vanille. Am Gaumen ausgeprägte Frucht, Toast, Tabak, Schokolade. Die geschliffenen Tannine begleiten in den lang ausklingenden Abgang.

Château Greteau Médeville Bordeaux Supérieur AOP 2016
Offering incredible value for money, this Bordeaux Supérieur from the Entre-Deux-Mers region is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage produced premium wines in nearly the entire Bordelais region. The 2016 Greteau Médeville is impressive proof of this as well.Since 1826 and in the meantime through seven generations, members of the Médeville family have been producing wines in the Bordeaux region. The Médeville family owns an additional six estates which they operate with an organic approach, protecting the environment to the greatest extent possible, with minimal use of chemicals in its vineyards. The Gréteau Médeville estate is one of its showpieces, covering an area of only 22.24 acres.A restrained use of wood underlines the fruity and well-balanced character of this wonderful, seductive wine.The Château Greteau Médeville Bordeaux Supérieur AOP 2016 is a light, clear garnet red in colour. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of cherries, black currants and spices. It is very velvety on the palate, showing lots of fruit, notes of amarena cherries and a full body. The finish is long and fruity. The fine and already well-integrated tannins underpin the wine’s structure. We recommend decanting the wine a while before drinking it. It can already be enjoyed now but will further improve over at least five more years.This Bordeaux is a wonderful everyday wine and lovely to enjoy on its own. It is also a good accompaniment to grilled dishes, meat pies, game, duck, quails or ripe cheeses. You won’t find a better bargain for Bordeaux!

Château de Pitray Côtes de Castillon 2016
The Château de Pitray of the 2015 vintage is simply a sensation in terms of quality and good value for money. The 2015 vintage is considered the outstanding vintage in the Bordelais region. It produced the best grapes ever in the Bordeaux region’s modern history, alongside 2009 and 2010. The winery is located in Gardegan in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation with its plateaus composed of limestone and clay, situated on the right bank of the Gironde River, just 8 kilometres from Saint-Émilion. This splendid Château has been owned by the Pitray family for 600 years. It would be a worthy setting for every Harry Potter film. The remarkable limestone and clay soils provide excellent conditions for the Merlot grapes that make up 75% of this assemblage. The cuvée of the 2016 de Pitray further consists of 23% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. In the vineyards, interventions in nature are minimised as far as possible; herbicides are not used, for example. The wine matured for 12 months in barriques and offers impressive harmony and elegance. The 2016 Château Pitray can already be enjoyed now but will be a real delight over the next 5-8 years. We recommend decanting the wine at least one hour before drinking it. The wine offers lovely aromas of dark, ripe fruit such as bilberries, blackberries and wild strawberries, wonderfully accompanied by round, fine tannins. Nothing is in the wrong place here. The notes of wood emphasise the wine’s finesse without drowning it. The 2016 Château Pitray has a well-defined, precise bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry fruit, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, not much depth here, but very well balanced with a silky smooth finish. This comes highly recommended, since it is usually well priced. The Château de Pitray 2016 is an ideal accompaniment to grilled dishes, game, meat loaf, roast beef and cheeses. It is also lovely on its own to enjoy with friends.

Château Lalene Bordeaux Supérieur AOC
Dieser herrliche, Merlot-dominierte Bordeaux Superieur überzeugt durch seine Geschmeidigkeit und Eleganz. Seit über 80 Jahren im Besitz der Familie Cioci, ist der Jahrgang des Châteaus Lalène besonders gut gelungen. In der Nase begegnen uns dunkle Früchte und Röstaromen. Saft und Frucht, viel Beerigkeit und gute Struktur erfreuen den Gaumen dieses Weins vom 5,5 ha großen Gut in Bossugnan. Das Finale ist lang, und der Barrique-Ausbau spiegelt sich in schönen Vanille-Noten wieder. Ein Preis-Leistungs Wunder, das Gegrilltes oder Hartkäse perfekt zu begleiten vermag.
