Château La Croix Fourche Mallard, St-Émilion - 2019

750 mL
Item # 50654

A classic Right Bank Bordeaux you can enjoy immediately. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from older vines planted in clay and limestone soil. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (50% new) for a year before bottling. Classic on the palate with dark fruit and spice that's accessible. A red wine to pair with steak.

Cabernet Franc

Relegated to moderate obscurity in modern times, Cabernet Franc is in fact the proud parent of the attention-hogging Cabernet Sauvignon (after an illicit affair with Sauvignon Blanc a hundred-odd years ago).
