Comte de Gironde, Bordeaux, France, 2020
About
Comte de Gironde has been crafted by a skilled team who strive to nurture the very essence of the Entre-deux-Mers region in their wines.
The beautiful old winery has been recently renovated, bringing modernity to the vinification process and working in harmony with tradition, in this most famous and classic of French wine-growing regions.
Aromas of ripe dark fruit and oak on the nose are followed by rich, intensely ripe, plummy fruit on the palate. Fresh core acidity keeps it vibrant and alive and this is all supported by a taught tannin structure. All in all a great example of how Merlot excels in Bordeaux. Drinking at its best 5-8 years from vintage.
Versatile and reassuring, with sufficient class to match roast meat, or serve with root vegetable gratin, bread and a green salad.
