Talking points: Les Granges de Gazin is produced by Chateau Gazin-Rocquencort. The property was purchased in 2006 by the Bonnie family, of Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere fame. Michel Rolland is one of two consulting winemakers overseeing the winemaking process.

Tasting notes: This wine shows aromas and flavors of crushed blackberry, raspberry and currant with toasty oak notes.

2005 La Closerie de Camensac, Red Blend, Haute-Medoc, Bordeaux

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:11:06 +0000

Talking points: This is the “second wine” of Chateau Camensac. Chateau Camensac (the first wine) is a Fifth Growth of the 1855 Classification. The property which is owned by the Forner family, borders on the Saint-Julien appellation. Of interest, the Forner family is best known for the modern-style wines made at their winery called Marques de Caceres located in the Rioja region of Spain. This wine is made under the direction of the world famous consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. The wines of Camensac are typically Cabernet Sauvignon dominant.

Tasting notes: The wine shows good concentration with straightforward red berry and floral character on a medium-bodied frame.

Serving suggestions: Pairs well with a wide range of red meats and hard cheeses.

Talking points: Francoise and Philippe Lannoye, owners of Chateau Ambe Tour Pourret, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru; Chateau Lanbersac, Puisseguin Saint-Emilion; and Chateau Lamour, Cotes de Castillon; also own Chateau Moulin de Clotte. The winemaker is Francois Despagne. The owners and winemakers’ intent is to produce wines that “express the soul of their terroir”. Castillon is located just east of prestigious Saint-Emilion and the primary grapes are Merlot and Cabernet Franc with small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Wines from this area share a soft, plush, round and generous character making them crowd pleasers.

Tasting notes: A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Soft yet rich, ripe red fruit aromas and flavors nicely integrating the characteristics of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Serving suggestions: Serve with full-flavored, hard cheeses or these refined reds are enhanced when served with beef, chicken, pork or duck.
