Description

This Bordeaux Supérieur, crafted by the esteemed Xavier Milhade family, represents the soul of Bordeaux's Right Bank. With a winemaking heritage dating back to 1938, the Milhade family has perfected the art of producing accessible yet characterful wines that highlight the quality terroirs of their Libournais estates. This wine is a masterclass in balance, blending the classic Bordeaux varieties—Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—to achieve a harmonious profile. On the nose, you will be greeted by enticing aromas of dark forest fruits, including blackberry and black cherry, with subtle floral notes of violet. On the palate, it is beautifully rounded and supple, offering a juicy mouthfeel characterized by silky tannins that provide structure without being overpowering. It is the definition of a 'gastronomic' wine, designed to be enjoyed with good company and fine food. This Bordeaux Supérieur is the perfect companion for a variety of dishes: it pairs magnificently with roasted red meats, game such as venison, or a classic beef stew. For a more casual setting, it is also a fantastic match for cured meats and aged cheeses. Whether you are a seasoned collector looking for an authentic, 'unadulterated' Bordeaux or someone simply seeking an excellent, high-quality bottle for a weekday dinner, this wine offers remarkable value and a true taste of French tradition. We recommend decanting this wine for about an hour before serving at 17°C to allow its complex bouquet to fully open up and reveal its sophisticated character.
