Château Fleur CardinaleBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
A fantastic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru that combines power and elegance. The 2020 vintage is rich and well-structured, showcasing the estate's signature style of plush fruit and refined tannins.
Ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum with hints of chocolate, licorice, and toasted oak. Full-bodied with smooth tannins, bright acidity, and a long, fruity finish.
Grilled lamb, duck breast, or a rich mushroom dish.
Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux
Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
France
The world's most famous wine region. Left bank: Cabernet-led, structured, age-worthy. Right bank: Merlot-forward, plush, generous. The greatest châteaux set the global benchmark for red wine; the Entre-Deux-Mers makes brilliant dry whites.
