Le Temps des Récoltes

The Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux is perhaps the least well known yet the vastest in size. Situated between the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers, the region sees a temperate climate with maritime influences coming off the nearby waters. Vineyards are densely planted on land with clay and limestone soils. The 2019 harvest was drier than usual and on the warm side, which allowed for grapes to fully ripen despite the somewhat early harvest. This weighty and rich blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is a beautiful reflection of the bold wines that come out of the region. Fruit-forward and well-balanced, the characteristics of the two varietals meld together harmoniously. Merlot’s classic red fruit flavors are enhanced by the more savory black fruit notes of Cabernet Sauvignon. Softly balanced tannins grip the palate and make every sip linger—a perfect wine for braised or roasted dishes with layers of flavor.
