Côtes de Bourg 2017
AOC Cotes de Bourg, Bordeaux, France
Blend: 40% Merlot, 40% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc | 14.5% ABV
Discover this French red blend, a really delicious wine from a Bordeaux appellation that is a bit off the beaten path, Côtes de Bourg. The Gros Moulin has an appealing balance between its sweet fruit and its meaty, spicy core. Its Malbec (40%) would make this a great choice for those that love Argentine wines, particularly to pair with grilled steak or portobello mushrooms.
A dark red robe. A very attractive nose of stone fruit, blackcurrant, spices and some very subtle oaky aromas. A suave and virile mouth, framed by a robust structure revealing aromas of fruits and spices.
Service: Serve at 15˚ to 18˚C.
Food Pairing: Excellent with beef, cheese, game, lamb, pork and poultry.
Eleventh generation winemaker Rémy Eymas is now in charge of the winery.
He grew up working with his father in the vineyard every summer during school vacation. He studied courses that were focused on agriculture and engineering at a university in Bordeaux. Rémy decided to become a winemaker when he realized that chemistry and biology were involved.
The vineyard has 30 hectares of vines for red and 2 hectares for white.
The estate enjoys a beautiful southern exposure, swept by the winds touching the first hillside of the Côtes de Bourg overlooking the Dordogne. Defined as the “Little Switzerland of Girondine”, the Côtes de Bourg has incredible topographical complexity. Thus, the vines of Château Gros Moulin are planted on plots alternating between clay-limestone and clay-sandy soils.
