Château Coufran Cru Bourgeois Supérieur 2007, Haut-Médoc

Description

Château Coufran like to stand apart. While the majority of Bordeaux’s Left Bank wines are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, this historic estate opts for Merlot-dominant blends instead – earning it the nickname ‘the Pomerol of Médoc’. Their vines have an average age of 50 years, making for high quality grapes in small quantities. This is the estate’s top wine – and only the very best grapes make it into the blend. You’ll find it rich and opulent with flavours of cherry, plum and red berries, plus notes of cedar and forest floor. Its smooth, velvety texture and firm tannins make it an ideal pairing for roasted red meats or hard cheeses.
