Description
In a nutshell:
A plummy, ripe and round Claret from vineyards neighbouring Fronsac on the Right Bank.
The lowdown:
Buisson-Redon is owned by the Fronsac estate of Château Mayne-Vieil and the vineyards lie just outside the appellation which is why it's classified as AOC Bordeaux. The thirty year old vines are 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc and, after fermentation, partially aged in oak which brings the right level of smoothness and elegance. Soft and welcoming, it has a ripe, round and plummy nose with a hint of wood spice and nutmeg. It's quite full bodied and well structured with gentle tannins that lead to velvety finish.
The Producer:
Its nearly 100 years since Louis Sèze acquired the Fronsac estate of Château Mayne-Vieil. Since then, Roger and now Bertrand Sèze have expanded the estate which today includes Château Buisson-Redon - a 15ha enclave of AOC Bordeaux. On this gently sloping vineyard of clay-loam soils, planted mainly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, yields are naturally limited to boost the intensity of the wines.
When to drink:
A good value, honest claret which is very versatile and good with farmhouse cheeses, or pork, lamb and beef dishes.
