Tasting note Lassalle Graves Rouge

French red wine with the scent of ripe red fruit - such as blueberries and blackberries - and an oak nuance. The taste is full and soft. Nice wine with many (meat) dishes from the grill or game dishes.

Description

The underexposed Graves appellation, south of the city of Bordeaux, offers a number of wines that are among the most worth buying in the Bordeaux region. Decanter magazine described it as the perfect blend between the full, thick right bank merlot and the tighter, left bank cabernet. These red graves by Perrine and Fabien Lalanne are a prime example of this. They make a beautiful red wine from 50% cabernet and 50% merlot grapes, which is aged for twelve months in oak casks. Lassalle cannot compete with the fame of more skilled producers. But in a big blind tasting, the quality turned out to be at least equal to that of the famous locals.
