The Wine
This 2020 Bordeaux blend leans on Merlot for plush plum fruit and Cabernet for structure. 2020 was a warm vintage, producing wines with ripe generosity. Fortunately, this wine retains the classic graphite note with hints of herbs - notes that are often lost in warm vintages.
The wine boasts a frame of firm, polished tannins and an elegance from the clay‑limestone soils, contributing to the wine's round mid‑palate and subtle minerality.
Pairings: Roast beef, mushroom ragout, aged Gouda, and firm cow’s‑milk cheeses all complement its structure.
The Winery
Grand Marchand sources fruit from sustainably farmed vineyards across the Right Bank, focusing on small growers who emphasize biodiversity and soil health.
Their Reserve bottling is designed to deliver traditional Bordeaux character without heaviness, highlighting the region’s balance of fruit, earth, and structure.
