Château Frédignac 2012 Cuvée La Favorite (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux)

Country: France / Cuvée La Favorite
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Frédignac / Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

This cuvée honors a sailor who, in 1919, docked his boat, La Favorite, at Blaye in the Gironde estuary and bought the property. It is still owned by the l’Amouller family. Juicy and fruity, this wine is immediately attractive and accessible. Red fruits, soft tannins and a bite of acidity all contribute to the ready-to-drink taste.
