Médaille d'Or

Merlot accompanied by two Cabernets produces a wine with notes of ripe fruit and a hint of oak, which quickly gains complexity against a straightforward, youthful, and distinctive backdrop. Concentrated and full of character, it combines great elegance in both bouquet and structure. A real treat!

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but where we are unable to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the estate:
The property was indeed a coaching inn in the 18th century, but it is only since the beginning of this millennium that it has made a name for itself in the world of wine. Followed by the current specialist in accessible Bordeaux wines, Olivier Dauga, the estate produces fruity and delicious Côtes de Bourg wines, without any rusticity. A cuvée composed of Malbec, a grape variety once widely planted throughout the southwest, and now only found in the Blayais-Bourgeais region, in Cahors (under the name "cot" or "auxerrois") and also... in Argentina.
