Château la BastidetteBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
A pure, approachable Montagne-Saint-Émilion made from 100% Merlot, offering classic Bordeaux character at an accessible price. It's fruit-forward and easy to enjoy young, yet still structured enough to develop for a few years.
Juicy black cherry and plum with notes of violet, cedar and graphite. Medium-bodied with smooth tannins, soft spice and a fresh, rounded finish typical of Right Bank Merlot.
Charcuterie boards, roast chicken, beef stew, cassoulet or mature cheeses — dishes that complement its ripe fruit and gentle tannins.
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.
