A taste of the great Bordeaux Wine talk
AOC vines giving it more hectares than the whole of Australia. It has the perfect climate, moderated by the Gulf Stream, tempered by the Atlantic, with the Lan des Forest providing a nat ural windbreak to protect the vineyards. With this in mind we went to two of our negotiants to put our 125 anniversary special selec tion together and after much tasting we have selected a range of about 40 wines - not many of the grand names, but wines we thought offered good value and had a personality. This week I have selected two you might like to try. Chateau Franc Couplet
2001 Bordeaux at £4.79, is a gold medal winning wine from an estate owned by the Meynard family and is situated in the Entre- Deux-Mers region, just south of Bordeaux city. The wine is a blend of 50% merlot, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 20% caber net franc. The wine is only 30% oak aged so it has a fruitier taste. It is dark

Chateau Cantc-Grivc Cotes de Castillon, £6.99.
This vineyard is located on the slopes and table-lands of the Ste Colombe village, four miles to the east of St Emilion. The wine is made from 50% merlot, 38% cabernet franc and 12% cabernet sauvignon, again some oak ageing. It is a bright ruby red
colour and has an intensive nose of black cherries and plums, the palate is well- balanced with supple tan nins with a rounded soft finish.
