Château La Commanderie Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois AOC

The Château La Commanderie is a cuvée made of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. The grapes for this classical Saint-Estèphe, in the Cru Bourgeois range, come from vines that are more than 30 years old. The wine matured for 12 months in French oak casks.

The vines for the 2017 La Commanderie grew in the highest vineyards with gravel soils located in the village of Saint-Estèphe. The wine is a typical example of this outstanding vintage in the Bordeaux region. It is already very enjoyable but will further improve over the next 8-10 years. The Château La Commanderie is beguiling on the nose, offering lovely, spicy aromas and fragrances of red and dark berries, cherries, pepper and polish. On the palate, it has an impressive abundance of fruit and silky, very well integrated tannins and a lovely long finish, showing subtle hints of mint and herbs.

This charming Saint-Estèphe goes beautifully with beef, steaks, lamb, game and various cheeses. We recommend decanting the wine 1-2 hours before drinking it.

Château La Commanderie

Das Château La Commanderie liegt in der renommierten Appellation Saint-Estèphe im Norden der Halbinsel Médoc. Weinkritiker René Gabriel bescheinigt diesem Gut, welches sich stolz als Cru Bourgois bezeichnen darf, dass es traditionellen Bordeaux im besten Sinne produziert.

Das 10 ha große Weingut und auch sein Name gehen bis zur Zeit der Templer im 12. Jahrhundert zurück. Es ist seit 1956 im Besitz der Familie Meffre, die hier mit viel Liebe auf der höchsten Erhebung von Saint-Estèphe Jahr für Jahr beste Bordeaux-Qualitäten erzielt. Dies ist kein Wunder, sondern eine Frage des exzellenten Terroirs, welches direkt an die bekannten Châteaux Montrose und Lafite-Rothschild angrenzt.

Château Castagnac Raphaël Merlot Sans Sulfites - Sulfitarm Bordeaux AOC 2019
Wir vom Vineshop24 sind immer auf der Suche nach etwas Spannenden und Neuem aus der wunderbaren Weinwelt. Dabei wurden wir aufmerksam auf diese Spezialität aus Fronsac im Bordelais, einem trockenen Wein "Sans Sulfites", also ohne zugesetztem Schwefel, mit einem niedlichen Jungen auf einem Traktor auf dem Label. Der kleine Lausbub ist Raphaël, die sechste Generation der Coudert Familie, der das Château Castagnac gehört und der so gerne im Weinberg - natürlich auf dem Schlepper - mithilft. Der Château Castagnac Raphaël Merlot wurde daher nach ihm benannt.Das Château Castagnac arbeitet derzeit daran, das Label HEV (high environmental value) zu erhalten, eine Auszeichnung für nachhaltigen französischen Weinbau. Bei der Herstellung wird zudem auf den Einsatz von Sulfiten verzichtet. Somit fällt bei diesem sulfitarmen Rotwein auch der Histaminwert gering aus.100% Merlot, aus im Schnitt 25 Jahre alten Reben, wird die Fermentation nur mit Hilfe natürlicher Hefen durchgeführt. Es erfolgt auch nur eine sehr vorsichtige Filterung vor der Abfüllung.Der Château Castagnac Merlot Raphaël ist genauso sympathisch wie der kleine Raphaël selbst. Fruchtig, viel Merlot-typische Pflaumenaromen, dunkle Beeren, Haselnuss und etwas Olive vereinen sich zu einem spannenden und äußerst runden Trinkvergnügen.James Suckling ist begeistert von diesem Wein aus Bordeaux und benotet den Château Castagnac Merlot Raphaël mit 91 Punkten.

Château Fontesteau Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Supérieur AC 2020
Château Fontesteau 2020 is a remarkable red wine from the prestigious Haut-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux. The historic Château Fontesteau, which dates back to the 13th century, is surrounded by a rich ecosystem, including a forest of centuries-old oaks and a picturesque pond. During the reclassification in the Médoc, Château Fontesteau was promoted to the "Cru Bourgeois Supérieur" category, with only 14 of a total of 249 Cru Bourgeois represented in this higher category. The grapes for this red wine grow on the 35 hectares of vineyards on the 100-hectare estate on gravelly soils, which allow optimal drainage and ensure slow, even ripening of the grapes. The cuvée is made up of the typical Bordeaux grape varieties, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.After the harvest, vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the fruitiness and elegance of the wine. The wine is then matured in French oak barrels, which gives it additional depth and a fine spiciness. In the glass, Château Fontesteau is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet exudes intense aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries and fine roasted aromas, complemented by nuances of cedar wood and graphite. On the palate, the wine impresses with a successful balance of powerful tannins, juicy fruit and well-integrated acidity. The fine spice from the wood maturation rounds off the taste and leads to a long-lasting, elegant finish.This classic Bordeaux is an excellent accompaniment to grilled beef, rack of lamb or braised duck. It is also an excellent choice with mature hard cheese or a traditional French cheese platter.Château Fontesteau should be served at 16 to 18 °C and ideally decanted before drinking to allow the aromas to develop to their full potential.A classic Haut-Médoc with structure, depth and elegance - perfect for Bordeaux lovers and festive occasions.

Château de Pitray Côtes de Castillon 2016
The Château de Pitray of the 2015 vintage is simply a sensation in terms of quality and good value for money. The 2015 vintage is considered the outstanding vintage in the Bordelais region. It produced the best grapes ever in the Bordeaux region’s modern history, alongside 2009 and 2010. The winery is located in Gardegan in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation with its plateaus composed of limestone and clay, situated on the right bank of the Gironde River, just 8 kilometres from Saint-Émilion. This splendid Château has been owned by the Pitray family for 600 years. It would be a worthy setting for every Harry Potter film. The remarkable limestone and clay soils provide excellent conditions for the Merlot grapes that make up 75% of this assemblage. The cuvée of the 2016 de Pitray further consists of 23% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. In the vineyards, interventions in nature are minimised as far as possible; herbicides are not used, for example. The wine matured for 12 months in barriques and offers impressive harmony and elegance. The 2016 Château Pitray can already be enjoyed now but will be a real delight over the next 5-8 years. We recommend decanting the wine at least one hour before drinking it. The wine offers lovely aromas of dark, ripe fruit such as bilberries, blackberries and wild strawberries, wonderfully accompanied by round, fine tannins. Nothing is in the wrong place here. The notes of wood emphasise the wine’s finesse without drowning it. The 2016 Château Pitray has a well-defined, precise bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry fruit, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, not much depth here, but very well balanced with a silky smooth finish. This comes highly recommended, since it is usually well priced. The Château de Pitray 2016 is an ideal accompaniment to grilled dishes, game, meat loaf, roast beef and cheeses. It is also lovely on its own to enjoy with friends.
