Cru Monplaisir 'Grand Vin De Bordeaux' Cabernet Sauvignon blend 2022 Bordeaux, France

From the husband-and-wife team Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville, whose families have been crafting exceptional wines for generations, this Bordeaux represents the perfect marriage of tradition and terroir. Sourced from prized parcels adjacent to the prestigious Margaux appellation—including vines planted near Château Margaux itself—this wine showcases the remarkable value that proximity to greatness can offer. The estate's organic farming practices and meticulous winemaking create a wine that punches well above its weight, delivering authentic Bordeaux character at an exceptional price.

Tasting Notes

Classic Bordeaux aromatics reveal plums, black currant, and figs with hints of graphite and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, dark cherry and black fruit flavors are supported by mature, silky tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. The wine shows elegant balance with concentrated dark fruit complemented by notes of chocolate and mineral undertones. The finish is moderately long and refreshingly leafy, showcasing the wine's approachable yet sophisticated character.
