Winemaker Notes
Dourthe La Grande Cuvée 2013 red is intense garnet red in appearance. Wonderfully seductive on the nose, it unleashes red and black berry fruit aromas, enhanced with a hint of delicately spicy oak. Initially supple on the attack, the wine is rounded on the palate, and the aromas evolve harmoniously against the beautifully balanced tannic structure. The wine finishes on a long, flavorsome and slightly smoky note.
Blend: 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot

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.
