Some time ago, I told you about a wine that had a special sentimental value. It was a wine a First Cotes de Bordeaux, we drink at family meals. I lierai still this wine to my paternal grandfather.
Today is also a wine "family" which I offer the story of tasting. My maternal grandfather was a regular at the Chateau Béchereau. He brought Bordeaux Superieur, Lalande de Pomerol and Montagne Saint-Emilion. Cubiteners purchased, I remember filling bottles, labels and then sticking the seal with red wax.
Incidentally, I reported the discovery of a new magazine dedicated to the wine grower. That's fine. The photos are beautiful, many items and interesting. A disappointment, the magazine is only interested in large families (Lurton, Cathiard, etc.). And great fields (DRC Guigual, Pontet-Canet, etc..). But for this first issue, I conquered.
Wine Name: Castle Béchereau
Appellation: Lalande de Pomerol
Category: Red wine
Vintage: 2004 Alcohol level
13%
Cap: Cork, see photo
production Country: France Region
: Bordeaux
Price: 10-12 €
Wine is open from 2:30 a.m. ET was gently aerated in the bottle.
The dress is very dark, almost black. The edges of the discs take a deep ruby brown Tangier. The nose is flattering. I see some burnt notes (coffee, vanilla, toast, etc..) And berries. The nose is still marked by the wood.
The attack is frank. The wine unfolds well mouth. It revolves around a tannic structure that we feel. Well integrated it with finesse and softness.
The acidity is well marked on the final, a little too much perhaps. It should, hopefully, fade over time.
LGDD's note for this wine: 14 to 14.5 / 20.
And of course, your comments are always welcome.
Cheers, NL
