Bordeaux Rouge - Bordeaux - Chateau Tertre de Courban
Tasting Notes: A supple Bordeaux with brilliant red hues and aromas of red fruit and toast. Smooth and soft on the palate with a lingering finish.
Winemaking: The vineyard is situated in the northern tip of Entre-Deux-Mers and enjoys the maritime influences of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. Here, there’s plenty of sunshine and just enough rain. The soils are dominated by clay with traces of loam and gravel. Merlot loves clay. Grapes are harvested by machine and undergo cold maceration, natural fermentation, and micro-oxygenation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The finished wine is aged in the tanks until bottling.
Food Pairing: Try pairing with pork tenderloin, roast beef and filet. Pâté, charcuterie and Gruyère cheese are also excellent matches.
