Tasting notes

I had hoped this wine would turn out slightly better, as it was one of the handful of wines that didn’t live up to my predicted range (most exceeded it or were at least at the higher end in 2009). A consumer-friendly, elegant wine with plenty of crushed rock and black cherry notes, it has medium weight, a creamy texture, and good purity and depth, it is just not quite as rich as I had expected.

About this wine

Château de La Dauphine - Bordeaux

Château de La Dauphine is a beautiful wine from the Bordeaux region of France. This wine is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, which gives it a rich and complex taste profile.

The wine has a deep ruby color and a nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a long and elegant finish.

The history of Château de La Dauphine dates back to the 17th century when it was owned by the Dauphin of France. Today, the estate is owned by the Labrune family, who have been producing exceptional wines for over 300 years.

This wine is perfect for pairing with red meat, game, and strong cheeses. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, perhaps while sitting by a roaring fire on a cold winter's night.
