Chateau La Cardonne Medoc, France 2016 Las Notas Disgorged: February

Disgorged: February

Delicate aromas of ripe orchard fruit and bread dough carry over to the dry but lightly effervescent palate along with Anjou pear and citrus

This wine goes perfectly with a juicy pork chop

Vigne Marina Coppi is best known for making great Timorasso but this everyday red maintains a youthful profile despite the relatively long ageing - 10 months in stainless steel plus eight months in bottle

It's a more approachable La Bruja

Chateau La Cardonne Medoc, France 2016 Las Notas Disgorged: FebruaryThe 2016 La Cardonne has a lively bouquet with red and black fruit, cedar and light mint aromas, quite Pauillac in style. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, vibrant and quite precise with well judged oak towards the persistent finish. Looking for a Cru Bourgeois in the Mdoc? Look no further. Superb. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London. 91 Pts Neal Martin, Vinous
