Winemaker Notes
This classic Merlot based Bordeaux from the Castillon opens with an elegant nose of red currant, blueberry and black pepper aromas. The wine is round in texture and filled with delicious ripe black and red fruits, chocolate, tobacco and spice.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Château Mauperey is pleasing, ripe, and smooth on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of blueberries, bright red fruits, and hints of dust. Try it with slowly-braised meat dishes. (Tasted: December 17, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

A juicy, generous wine full of black fruits, this is still young but showing well. The fruits and ripe tannins partner well to make up the structure.

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
