“A classic blend of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc, this 2015 vintage, with its deep color, offers a harmonious bouquet of ripe black fruits accompanied by subtle, elegant vegetal notes. On the palate, it is round, smooth, soft, and full-bodied, supported by velvety, silky tannins. The archetype of a pleasant, indulgent Bordeaux. ” (Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2018)

About the wine:
A classic blend of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc, this 2015 vintage, with its deep color, offers a harmonious bouquet of ripe black fruits accompanied by subtle, elegant vegetal notes. On the palate, it is round, smooth, soft, and full-bodied, supported by velvety, silky tannins. The quintessential example of a pleasant, indulgent Bordeaux.
About the estate:
An 8-hectare estate farmed organically, owned by the same family since 1935 and spanning four generations, regularly recognized for its sweet “Palais d’Or” wine from the Côtes-de-Bordeaux-Saint-Macaire appellation and for its red Bordeaux wines. After ten years as a pharmacy technician, Thierry Bos took over the family estate in 1990.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated Estate (2018 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
"Fruit d'Automne 2015" evokes the refreshing qualities of a Beaujolais: fruit-forward, full-bodied, low in tannins, and vibrant.
About the estate:
Thierry Bos, a native of Gironde-sur-Dropt, is a determined and passionate winemaker! For more than ten years, he has been dedicated to reviving “forgotten” grape varieties such as Carménère, Malbec, and, to a lesser extent, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The various vintages express wine styles with strong personalities. Always well-balanced, with just the right level of ripeness and delicate extraction, we appreciate the unique character of these wines. This is an estate that truly deserves our attention.

Review by Mr. BERNARD N. Published on August 10, 2018
A winery worth discovering, a wine that lives up to its name, and unbeatable value for the price. I discovered it at a wine fair, and it has never disappointed.
