L'EXPRESSION DE MEDOC

2010 Ulysse Cazabonne

Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
District Left Bank
ABV 13.5%

Wow - this is a cracking Claret at this price level - really over-delivering in every way. Managing to be very authentically Medoc in style yet with all the charm and easy-poise of the much lauded 2010 vintage. There is lovely black-current leaf crunch - delicious dark, hard edged fruit - well styled structure, just firm enough but seductively smooth flowing. There is classic pencil lead and whiffs of lovely fresh cigars here too. One of those all too rare bargains from the left bank, a reminder why we all get cross when the prices are too high - it can be unbelievably good and does not have to cost the earth. Dive into this irresistibly drinkable Bordeaux. L&S (Nov 2016)

Ulysse Cazabonne

Ulysse Cazabonne is a Bordeaux merchant based in Margaux, with close links to many top Châteaux. It is owned by Chanel, which also owns Château Rauzan Ségla and Château Canon. Director John Kolasa was previously régisseur of Château Latour. Using these connections Ulysse Cazabonne has been able to source wines from famous estates that have not made the cut into the 'grand vin' for whatever reason - young vines or parcels that in these years have not been quite as successful, but which nevertheless benefit from the considerable expertise available in these top properties. We were frankly surprised (and delighted) by just how true the back-label claim proved to be for all these characterful clarets:"Vinified by a famous estate of the region, this wine is showing the typicity of its terroir".
