Flavor Profile
We’re thrilled to introduce the highly anticipated 2018 release of Château Le Bonalguet. Past vintages of this “powerful” red have been rated “a near-perfect wine” by Fabrice Sommier, a former Best Sommelier of France who works at George Blanc’s 3-Michelin-star restaurant in Lyon. It also sports a history of gold-medal acclaim from some of France’s toughest shows.
The Sueur family crafts this Merlot-rich red at their quality-focused, 15-hectare estate. They employ rigorous selection standards in the vineyard (ensuring only the ripest grapes are picked), then treat the wine to kid-glove care in the winery. And Mother Nature gave them a serious quality advantage during the stellar 2018 vintage, which produced “wonderful wines with a beautiful depth of ripe fruit and polished, strong tannins” (critic James Suckling).
In the glass, a deep ruby color leads to ripe plum, blackberry and floral aromas and flavors. The palate is elegant and well-balanced, with silky-smooth tannins and a long, complex finish. If you’re lucky enough to secure a bottle (or 12), enjoy alongside beef tenderloin or mature cheeses.
Don’t wait to order—we only have 400 cases to share.
