Description
In a nutshell:
An award winning Bordeaux Superieur from near Graves on the Left Bank.
The lowdown:
Château Larroque is situated at the southern end of the left bank near the town of Langon. This Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon dominated red is from one of the best vintages in the last 20 years. It has attractive oak aromas with soft cassis and black cherry fruit flavours leading onto a complex palate with good structure and fine tannins which make it a wine punching well above its weight for the price.
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:
Highly versatile, anything from meat pies and bangers and mash to casseroles and roast meat dishes.
