Château Mahon-Laville, Bordeaux Supérieur

The 14-hectare Château Laville in Sauternes is Jean-Christophe Barbe's family property. A Professor of Oenology at Bordeaux University, he is mostly famous for his outstanding Sauternes, but also produces some stunning reds, albeit on a fairly small scale. Although the domaine is mainly planted with white grapes, Jean-Christophe has set aside a 1.3 hectare vineyard of red varieties, which is sold as 'Château Mahon-Laville

🍇 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon - aged for 12 months in oak.

🍷 Good colour, a classic nose and ripe, supple fruit on the palate with the sort of grip on the finish that reminds you that you are drinking a claret.

Enjoy

Serve with a grilled steak or game stew with lots of root vegetables.
