2019 Heritage Familial Cotes de Bordeaux Rouge


2019 Heritage Familial Cotes de Bordeaux Rouge...$17.99
Located right near St. Emilion, this is a great Right Bank Style Bordeaux
A beautiful cherry red color. The nose is dominated by red berry fruit with hints of cocoa and candied fruit. A well balanced palate with a sweet attack, leading to a soft and round finish full of ripe, fresh fruit.   Merlot and Malbec are complementary when it comes to making a fruity yet elegant wine. On the nose, fresh plums, cherries, blackcurrants, violets and pine. Creamy and soft, with a full body and ripe tannins. Well-balanced wine that pairs very easily in every season.

This is a fantastic value made by a great Bordeaux Family- Franc de Ferriere. The family vineyard is located to the east of the Bordeaux wine region, about 25 minutes from Saint-Emilion. Wines of the Franc de Ferriere family originate from a unique area on the hills of the Dordogne river, giving the appellation all of its originality and grace.
Cultivating mainly Merlot and Cabernet varieties for the red and Sauvignon Blanc for the white, Wilfrid and his team do their utmost to produce quality wines reflecting the potential of our terroir. Our philosophy and practices are constantly evolving in order to produce wines that are unique, elegant and full of flavours. The vineyard is located on the hills of the property which benefits from a favorable south/south-west exposition. In the fields below, 20 Aquitaine Blond cattle happily share 30 hectares of more fertile grounds.
