This super inexpensive Bordeaux holds mass appeal. A nose of cherry, boysenberry, chocolate and chalk. Round and rich with plush red fruits offset by spices and light oak. Nicely chalky on the finish. A perfect pick for parties and daily enjoyment.

Easy and lovely. The 2015 Bois Malot has a very pretty lifted aromatics, reminiscent of fraise du bois. A style of Bordeaux that would go down very easily on those hot nights, simple dinners, burgers and etc

Notes

Château Bois-Malot is located in St-Loubes and situated on the shoreline of the Dordogne River. The soils are clay and light limestone with a subsoil of red pebbles and clay. The wine is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and is aged for 18 months in tanks, followed by six months in barrels. If you like framboise you will adore this wine — 2015 was a huge success for this property. As in most years, this wine tastes and smells of raspberries and earth, but with a gentle middle and a soft finish due to the extraordinary vintage. Round, seductive, and filled with easy-drinking character. Great party wine, and a super value.
