Château Fage Red Bordeaux 750ml, $15.99
Very unique and exclusive! The village of Vayres is actually a small town a few minutes from St. Emilion and Pomerol, only 4 or 5 of the Chateaux produce a white. The Sauvignon from Chateau Fage has the same characteristics and can be compared to a top Graves blanc for half the price!
One of my favorite wines to pair with this holiday treat is Bordeaux. Long before the Dutch drained the swamps of the region to make way for vineyards, the Bordeauxlais were raising sheep. So, when wine production started in earnest, they of course made the wines to pair with the local cuisine.
Try one of these beautiful Bordeaux with your favorite lamb dish this Easter.
Château Les Hautes De Palette 750ml, $19.99
This wine displays an intense ruby color and develops an expressive bouquet where red fruits go hand in hand with the spicy, vanilla and coconut notes bequeathed by a twelve-month stay in barrels.
Château Brane Cantenac
750ml, $99.99
Deep and generous blackberry fruits and rich chocolate, there is good balance here with depth and interest and a ton of flavor. Really good stuff, with juice and a drive forward through the palate.
Château Haut Brion
750ml, $599.99
Pessac, Bordeaux, languidly revealing crushed black cherries, ripe black plums and wild blueberries with sparks of cinnamon stick, cloves, nutmeg, espresso, unsmoked cigars, tapenade, crushed rocks and lavender... finishing very long and with plenty of attitude. Critics have rated this as the best available among Pessac-Leognan wines: the 1947 vintage was given a score of 96 by The Wine Advocate.
