Natalie's Score: 90/100

Château La Cardonne Cru Bourgeois 2015 is a fantastic value Bordeaux. A dry, robust and concentrated blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc grapes sourced from vines growing in gravel and limestone soils. On the nose, toasty oak spice, dark plum and smoky vanilla aromas abound. Elegant and juicy on the palate with layers of dark ripe cherries, blackberry, underbrush, spiced plum, sweet dried tobacco leaf long and smoky on the palate. Good now but could benefit from a bit more time in cellar to integrate and start showing its best. Try in 2024. Pour with a roast beef dinner.

Food pairings: prime rib steak, roast lamb, meat fondue, game terrine.

From Domaines CGR, Château La Cardonne Cru Bourgeois 2015 is a fantastic value Bordeaux. Dry, robust and spicy it is a rich and concentrated red wine blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc grapes sourced from vines grown in the gravelly and limestone soils of the Médoc. Fragrant with toasty oak spice, dark plum and smoky vanilla, it is elegant on the palate with layers of dark cherry, blackberry, sous bois, baking and smoky, sweet dried tobacco spice. Drinking beautifully now through 2028. - Community Wine Reviews
