The Wine Expert
The
Bordeaux Blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc) reveals
the proximity of Bergerac (South West of France) to the famous Bordeaux
Vineyards. Developed thanks to the monasteries who established along the
Dordogne river in the middle age, the wines of Bergerac were left
behind for quite a long time, hidden by the renown Bordeaux, until
they gained some recognition in the 17th century as they were
officially accepted at the table of the king of France.
This
elegant and fruity wine shall be drunk quite young, and will provide
full satisfaction with your Barbecues parties, or just a bit chilled as
an aperitif with your friends. It can also well be paired with red beef
in sauce.
