Grande Réserve

2008 Blaye Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec

Chateau Monconseil Gazin Grande Réserve is an exquisite red wine hailing from the scenic Blaye region, crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. This vintage from 2008 showcases a deep, inviting color, setting the stage for the rich experience that awaits. The body of this wine is full, complemented by a high acidity that adds brightness and liveliness, enhancing its mouthwatering character. Its tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth without overpowering the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark berries and ripened plums interwoven with subtle hints of spice and earthiness, creating a complex bouquet that entices the senses. Despite its richness, this wine remains dry, making it an ideal companion to hearty dishes, grilled meats, or even rich winter stews, celebrating the unique terroir of Blaye with every sip.
