The Gold Medal Bordeaux Twin Pack
How about the gift of classic French wines from the Bordeaux region. Both are gold medal winning wines in both the Paris and international wine awards 2023
The 2020 Roc de Levraut Bordeaux Superieur is in the classic structured style that shows red and black fruit, a touch of cassis, that mixture of dark berry and sage-like herbal musk so prevalent in Bordeaux reds, and a lovely plump blueberry from the Cabernet Franc. The tannins are noticeable, but don't dominate the wine, suggesting instead that there will likely be a few years of ageing capacity here.
This is a remarkably tasty Bordeaux made in the classic style. Delicious for drinking now but capable of ageing for 5 to 7 years.
1 x 75cl Bottle

Fresh and intense aromas of citrus, mango and pineapple, enhanced with hints of vanilla. Well-balanced by a delicate and lingering freshness and a silky texture.
