Chateau Cote Montpezat Cotes de Castillon 2000
Chateau Cote Montpezat 2000
(french, $17)
This particular Bordeaux is a blend of the following:
70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon ~This wine has a violet hue not super rich in color.
~On the bouquet I got hints of spice, tobacco & some green pepper.
This is not a real fruity wine, it’s acidic but not overwhelmingly so.
Tannins are light, it’s medium body, pleasant with slight floral flavor.
Also tastes of some cherry & definitely EARTHY flavor
(which is characteristic for a French wine).
Not much of a finish. Drink now. You could pair this with a seafood dish or chicken in a heartier sauce. For those that prefer a medium bodied wine this could fit the bill.
Personally, I’m a big, chewy, inky red girl (most times)! á votre santé
