Chateau Grand Francais - 'Grand Cuvee' - Bordeaux Superieur

In 2020, this bold red blend from Bordeaux Superieur, France, is crafted from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Chateau Grand Francais has a rich 15th - century viticulture history. This family - owned winery, certified organic in 2002 (among less than 2% of Bordeaux producers), has vines over 40 years old, grown on sandy - limestone soils and hand - harvested each vintage. Aged for 10 - 14 months in new and used French oak, it offers tasting notes of plum, dark currant, complemented by violets and a hint of woodiness. It pairs perfectly with aged English cheddar or roast beef tenderloin with Marchand de Vin sauce.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, aged English cheddar or roast beef tenderloin with Marchand de Vin sauce are great choices. After opening, if you don't finish the bottle, re - cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for about 2 - 3 days. And remember, always drink in moderation.
