Baron De Lestac Bordeaux Rouge

The Baron de Lestac Bordeaux Rouge 2021 is a classic red blend from the Bordeaux AOC, specifically known for being aged in oak barrels to achieve a balanced, approachable style. 

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: This vintage features powerful notes of red and black fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, complemented by a hint of vanilla and subtle woody undertones from its time in oak.

• Palate: It is medium-bodied with a well-structured frame. The tannins are described as "melted" and harmonious, leading to a velvety finish with persistent notes of toasted wood and spice.

• 2021 Vintage Characteristics: Generally, 2021 Bordeaux wines are known for being fresh and lower in alcohol compared to previous years, making them ideal for earlier drinking rather than long-term cellaring. 

Key Details

• Grape Varieties: A traditional blend typically consisting of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.

• Aging: Aged for approximately 6 months in American oak barrels, which imparts its signature "finely oaked" character.

• Serving Advice: Best enjoyed at room temperature (16°C – 18°C). It is recommended to decant the wine for about an hour before serving to let the aromas open up.

• Pairing Suggestions:  it pairs excellently with red meats like beef and lamb, as well as aged cheeses like Camembert or even chocolate-based desserts.

This non-vintage Rose is the end result of a desire to create a Rose champagne with a delightfully luscious, fruit-based charm. Jacques Peters, the cellarmaster, and his team wanted a champagne that would be accessible and naturally engaging while conserving Veuve Clicquot's essential values in terms of style. The wine has a luminous color with attractive pink glints.

The nose is generous and elegant, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche). The fresh attack is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation on the palate. The wine is perfectly balanced in the best Veuve Clicquot style of pink champagnes, combining elegance and flair. The wine works its magic—this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously fruity wine in earlybloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a twosome or simply with friends. Made using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend: 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier, and 28 to 33% Chardonnay.

Rosé Imperial displays a pink color with amber highlights. Lively and intense, the bouquet exudes red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry) with floral nuances of rose and a slight hint of pepper. On the palate, the wine shows a juicy intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, red currant) rounded out by the fleshiness and firmness of peach and the freshness of a subtle note of mint.

Tasting Panel: Lovely pink hue; fresh, fragrant, and smooth with notes of strawberry and apple; elegant and long.

Wine Spectator: Delicate verbena and candied pink grapefruit zest accents lead to macerated blackberry, toasted nut and saline notes in this balanced and creamy rosé, with well-cut acidity.

Wine & Spirits: This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10 percent red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10 to 20 percent, including a portion of reserve wines that may be providing the oceanic, oyster-shell notes that bring to mind Champagne's Kimmeridgean limestone. This is broad and loose up front, with fruity scents of orange and pomegranate. Then the wine keeps buzzing with brisk acidity, tightening up and extending the flavors with energy. An impressive release of Imperial.

James Suckling: A complex and fresh nose with fresh berries, as well as berry pastry and biscuits. The palate has a fresh, crisp and lively feel with impressively upbeat berries. Drink now.

Decanter: Restrained red fruit nose. Long, rolling palate, fresh and crisp throughout, with abundant cranberry, sherbet lemon, green herb and ginger flavours.

Baron D'Arignac is a great companion of the best moments in people's lives. A great, inexpensive alternative to champagne. This sparkler has fine bubbles, a good mousse and crisp, spritzing acidity on the palate. A good aperitif.
