Major

2009 Blaye - Cotes De Bordeaux 80% Merlot 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

Chateau L'escadre Major is a delightful red wine from the Blaye - Cotes De Bordeaux region, showcasing a harmonious blend of eighty percent Merlot and twenty percent Cabernet Sauvignon. With its rich ruby hue, this vintage offers an inviting presence in the glass. The wine reveals a plush, medium-bodied profile, complemented by a moderate acidity that enhances its overall appeal. Fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of dark cherry and plum, balanced elegantly by subtle undertones of cocoa and spice. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overshadowing the fruit. This wine is expertly crafted to be food-friendly, making it an excellent choice for pairing with roasted meats or hearty pastas, while its approachable style ensures enjoyment for both casual drinkers and serious aficionados alike.
