Chateau La Croix St Benoit 2009 Bordeaux Superieur

My go to claret....

I first tried this one last christmas and i was blown away by the quality and the power thats in the bottle. First galss is a meaty dark, rich beast of a wine, with time the beast settles and allows a free flowing mass of red berry fruit goodness to come flying out.

The blend is 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot and 2009 is one of the finest Bordeaux vintages in living memory.  Some people are advising me to cellar a few to see just how good a vintage really is but I'd rather wrestle this beast when it's at full strength

Why not try this one with another bottle of Ch. Benoit 2009 - one bottle is NOT enough.

Enjoy, Andy

This is a collaboration between winemaker Michel Choquet of Chateau Lagrange les Tours and our very own Hamish Martin who wanted to make the most amazing claret possible for under a tenner.
