Château MoncetsBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
A polished Right Bank Bordeaux that offers Pomerol-like richness at a more accessible price. Highly rated by major critics and capable of ageing for several years while remaining approachable with some decanting.
A ruby color, a powerful nose with notes of violets, cherries, and raspberries. A luscious palate with red fruits and spicy notes, structured by an elegant tannic backbone.
Roast lamb, beef stew, grilled steak, duck or mature cheeses — dishes that match its ripe fruit and structured tannins.
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.
