Chateau la Croix D'Hourquet AOP Bordeaux Rouge

Château la Croix d'Hourquet's 2021 AOP Bordeaux Rouge is a traditional Merlot-led blend (60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc) that delivers approachable depth and balance. On the nose, dominant black cherry and dark plum fruit lead, supported by subtle cedar and herbaceous notes. The palate shows medium-full body with soft, integrated tannins and a mineral undertone that extends the finish. This is a versatile food wine—equally at home with grilled beef, braised dishes, or roasted poultry—that reflects the classic Bordeaux style without demanding extended cellaring.
