Description

Ah, allow me to introduce you to the François Noblecour Bordeaux Supérieur 2020, a delightful expression of classic Bordeaux winemaking with a modern twist. This wine hails from the renowned Bordeaux region of France, specifically from the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, where the stricter regulations ensure a higher quality standard than basic Bordeaux. The François Noblecour winery, while perhaps not as widely known as some of the grand châteaux, embodies the spirit of passionate, dedicated winemaking with attention to detail. The 2020 vintage is crafted with a blend of grapes. The wine is aged "Im Barrique Gereift" or "Élevé en Fûts de Chêne," meaning it's been aged in oak barrels which lends this wine a lovely structure and aromatic complexity.

Upon tasting, you'll immediately notice the wine's dry profile, which makes it incredibly versatile for pairing with a variety of foods. Predominant notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, dance on the palate, complemented by subtle hints of spice and a pleasant oaky undertone. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a velvety texture that makes it a joy to drink.

Speaking of pairings, this Bordeaux Supérieur is an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes. Its structure and fruit-forward character make it ideal for grilled or roasted red meats like steak, lamb, or duck. It also pairs beautifully with hearty stews, game dishes, and hard cheeses. If you're in the mood for something simpler, try it with a gourmet burger or a pizza with savory toppings.

The François Noblecour Bordeaux Supérieur 2020 is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to explore the rich winemaking heritage of Bordeaux through a lens of contemporary craftsmanship. It is perfect to drink now, but a little air does not hurt it.

Do not let the wine get too warm, 16 degrees is enough and enjoy this very lovely wine from Bordeaux.
