Red wine | Bordeaux, France
This Dulong Bordeaux is a classic representation of the Bordeaux region. Crafted by Dulong, a family winery with a long history in the region, this wine showcases the elegance and complexity that Bordeaux wines are known for.
The blend typically consists of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, creating a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. On the nose, expect aromas of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and spice from oak aging. The palate is dry and full-bodied, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure and length to the finish.
This Bordeaux is a versatile food pairing wine, perfect for accompanying a wide range of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats such as steak or lamb, as well as roasted poultry and hearty stews. The wine's acidity and tannins also make it a great match for aged cheeses. This wine should be served at around 18°C to best enhance its aromas and flavors. Allow the wine to breathe for 15 minutes before serving to allow the aromas to fully develop. With its structure and balance, this Bordeaux can age gracefully for several years, developing even more complexity and nuance over time.
