2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

Rating from the Hachette Wine Guide: 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Editor’s Choice
“A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (40%), it has everything going for it: a dense, almost black color; a very rich aromatic palette, where one first detects fresh black fruit (blueberry), then candied notes, accompanied by a spicy and woody bouquet. Upon tasting, the wine reveals its round and full-bodied texture, without the slightest heaviness, with aromas of ripe, quality grapes. Elegant tannins round out the profile of a remarkably balanced wine, which can be served young after decanting or enjoyed for up to fifteen years. It pairs beautifully with roast pheasant.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

About the wine:

While Véronique Gaboriaud-Bernard always produces fine wines, this 2009 vintage has been widely acclaimed. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (40%), it has everything going for it: a dense, almost black color; a very rich aromatic profile, where one first detects fresh dark fruit (blueberry), then candied notes, accompanied by a spicy, woody bouquet. From the first sip, the wine reveals its round, full-bodied texture, without the slightest heaviness, with aromas of ripe, quality grapes. Elegant tannins round out the profile of a remarkably balanced bottle, which can be served young after decanting or enjoyed for up to fifteen years. We can imagine it paired with a roasted pheasant.
