A soft, subtle red with berry and chocolate character, as well as a hint of cappuccino that runs through the wine. It’s full and layered with beautiful fruit and depth.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Chateau Haut Gaudin is an excellent example of a Bordeaux Superieur. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of red currants and tree branches. Pair it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye. (Tasted: June 10, 2023, San Francisco, CA)

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.
