2022 Château Belair-Coubet Côtes de Bourg Bordeaux Rouge
The 2022 Château Belair-Coubet Côtes de Bourg Bordeaux Rouge is a charming and elegant wine. Crafted by the renowned winemaker Delphine Faure, this 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend offers a deep garnet hue with blackberry, licorice, and vanilla aromas. Grapes were selected from a small estate in Côtes de Bourg, an appellation that is one of France’s oldest wine-producing regions. The first vineyards were founded by the Romans, and this region existed as a major port for wine in the Middle Ages. Sometimes referred to as “Bordeaux’s Little Switzerland,” Côtes de Bourg has gently sloping hills, rich soils, and a cooler, maritime-influenced climate that make it ideal for growing grapes, especially reds. aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, it achieves a smooth palate with a harmonious balance of spice and silky tannins. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with Beef Bourguignon or pan-fried lamb, this Bordeaux Rouge showcases the unique artistry of the Côtes de Bourg region.

"Solid Bordeaux - Full bodied, rich flavor, good fruit and reasonably long finish. For me, this wine was better than other Bordeaux that are more expensive and advertised as "elegant", "smooth", etc. They are just too light for me and this wine had more of a punch to it (as reflected in the somewhat higher alcohol percentage). Would definitely buy again."
"This one I did not care for. Particularly the aroma was not appealing to me."
