Description
In a nutshell:
A weighty, ripe and generous right bank Claret.
The lowdown:
Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux sits next to St-Émilion and produces wines of a similar style which are often very good value relative to their more famous neighbour. This blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from Vignobles Ducourt, aged for 12 months prior to bottling, is a good case in point. On the nose there are delicate red fruit aromas with a touch of rich vanilla creaminess and this character follows through to the palate where the quite lusty flavours are held together by velvety tannins that lead on to the nicely rounded finish.
The Producer:
Vignobles Ducourt is based in the commune of Ladaux in the the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region south east of Bordeaux. In the 1950s the business was built into a substantial operation be Henri Ducourt and now owns 14 châteaux with a vineyard area extending to 450 hectares. Currently at the helm are three of Henri's grandchildren, Bernard, Phillipe and Marie Christine. Their vineyards are all cultivated in the agriculture raisonnée system where they aim to reduce use of artificial pesticides and use minimally interventionist methods. Their extensive range of wines fully reflects their ethos and there's excellent quality to be found here at pleasantly modest prices.
When to drink:
Right in its prime and will remain good drinking for another 4 or 5 five years yet. Perfect with grilled or roasted red meats, or mature cheeses.
