Birot “Vintage” is their premium wine. It comes from the oldest plots in the estate, and it has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (25%), which gives it a firmer tannic structure. It is aged for 12 months in 50% new barriques. Rich and complex, it can be appreciated now, or be put in a cellar for a good 10 years longer. This is indeed an excellent buy.
Notes
This wine was made by Eric Fournier of Chateau Canon fame. It's a perfect combination of New World elements (rich currant and blackberry fruit and nice ripeness) along with balancing elements of cigar box and pepper. Moderate amounts of tannin, and a very low price, make it a great introduction to the wines of Bordeaux. This one is made to drink now, by the case loads!
