Not much could be dug up on this wine so I I don’t have pricing or details. It says Cru Bourgeois on the label and consists of 62% Cab Sav, 32% Merlot and 6% Cab Franc. I like this ratio of blending. The wine is an opaque purple in the glass and gives a charming nose of black fruits with some oak hints. The initial attack is all black currants. There is a sour cherry mid palate taste that feeds into the finish of more black fruits and very lithe tannins. The acidity is slightly off-balance and there is a green note in there. The wine slides in with 12.5% alcohol which makes it pleasing to drink. Overall a decent bottle of Bordeaux from a lackluster vintage. I am giving it 86 points but without pricing, I can’t give a star rating. Salut….
