Natalie's Score: 89/100

From Canon Fronsac, Château Lafond 2016 is the second wine of Chateau Mazeris. An excellent value Bordeaux at $22, Château Lafond is dry, medium-plus-bodied and a red wine blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The 2016 is maturing nicely and is richly layered with dark berry, plum, mocha, well-integrated oak spice flavours fresh on the palate. Tannins are structured. Château Mazeris is a 350-year-old wine estate producing right bank-styled Merlot.

Food pairings: steak frites, lamb burgers, pork roast.
