Bordeaux blend La Commanderie St-Estèph 2013 @majesticwine Score 88 🍷Have you tried this wine? 🍷Oldest Bordeaux you have tried? 🍷Do you age your wine? Out of the left bank St Estephe up the north of the famous AOC medoc communes is the slowest to ready for drinking, a bit closer to the Atlantic Ocean it takes it time with they cool breezes. The tannins take a bit of time to melow so 7-10 years is really a minium. There was a little sedement in the bottom of the bottle once I had decanted, showing a good developing. I left it a good 5 hours to open up. I got this on offer in Majestics for under a tenner about 4 years ago and it is now drink well and drinking like a wine double its price. It was on its way to garnet I should have maybe left it another year or two. A lot of tertiory aromas starting to come through but a good balance of black fruit on the nose. It went amazing with these lamb chops done very simple just cooked in there own fat with Salt, Pepper, Dried Oragano and Rosemary. Bordeaux and lamb what could be better? Château La Commanderie a stones throw from the famous Château Montrose in St-Estèphe.

Sauvignon Blanc Pouilly-Fumé Domaine Chatelain 2019 Score 89 Do you drink French Sav? Favourite Sav? NZ or French? Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre are France's top two expression of Sauvignon Blanc. They sit across from each other with the Loire river separating them in the east of the Loire Valley. Pouilly-Fumé is a little more subtle of the two. How it differs from its homeland of Bordeaux it is not blended with Semillon for a start, generally the better quality white wine from Bordeaux are blends like their reds. The bordeaux style is light and fruity with the loire more depth of fruit and herbs. Passaic Leognan style of Bordeaux’s famous left bank is rich and creamy. New Zealand more Gooseberry, Fresh cut grass, Green bell pepper and Jalapeno. The Loire and Bordeaux styles age considerably better than New Zealand too. This has an amazing freshness of balanced acidity and fruit. A real summers day wine with some complexity. Great with Salmon and chicken dishes. In my option Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre are the best Sav's you can buy. I do enjoy good quality styles of most types. Who says Sav cant be top wine?
