For customers looking for a bargain, Bordeaux wines are a rich hunting ground. Rich, velvety clarets with appealing ripe fruit going for a song.
Chateau Notre Pere is from the highly respected winemaker Marie Celine and already a Triple Gold Medal winner. Located in the Bordeaux region in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers vineyards between the Garonne and the Dordogne this is an upfront tasty blend of Merlot 80% & 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that boasts the kind of smoothness, structure, subtle cassis and red berry flavours that claret fans will love. Perfect for drinking now and over the summer months.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
