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:
Château des Demoiselles comes from Vignobles Ducourt, based in Ladaux in the heart of Bordeaux's Entre-Deux-Mers. It has grown from small beginnings in the 1950s under Henri Ducourt into quite a substantial operation. Now spanning 14 châteaux and 450 hectares, it's still very much a family affair, with Henri's grandchildren Bernard, Philippe, and Marie Christine steering the ship. Their vineyards follow the agriculture raisonnée system, favouring minimal intervention and cutting back on artificial pesticides - an approach that pays dividends in the glass. The range is as impressive as it is approachable, offering excellent quality without breaking the bank.
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.
