Cuvee La Favorite
Details
Producer: La Favorite
Region: Bordeaux, France
Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes
A fruity, juicy wine with swathes of black currant and berry flavors. The depth and complexity from ancient vines shows itself in the length of the finish and the smoky, spicy characteristics. The youthful touch shows itself in that the fruits are fresh and pronounced, and not stewed or overripe like some Bordeauxs. This is the wine to drink to convince a friend that Bordeaux can be approachable, or maybe the bottle to finally sway you!
Food Pairing Recommendations
Steak frites, buffalo burgers, dark meat turkey, green bean casserole.
