This is new-world Bordeaux with enough forward fruit and body to please a California-cab palate. Owned by Mr Uijttewaal since 1982, this property has seen tremendous improvements over the past ten years. Only 8000 cases a year from this small estate located 80 km north of the city of Bordeaux in a village called Jau Dignac et Loirac in the north Médoc. Deep gravely soil along with a clayey-chalky subsoil provides this value-priced Bordeaux red with plenty of stuffing, especially in the ripe, precocious vintage of 2005. The blend is 50% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot and 5% cabernet franc, vinified in stainless steel and aged for one year in oak (1/3 new each year). A fantastic wine to have on hand for strip sirloin on the grill, steak fajitas or burgers. The famous Mr Boissenot is the consultant here.
