Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2016 Guibot La Fourvieille has a simple raspberry and dark berry nose laced with black tea and tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe black berry and orange peel notes, a fine bead of acidity and quite a focused finish. Good potential.

The 2016 la Fourvieille is medium garnet-purple colored and gives up scents of warm red currants, black berries and raspberry leaves with touches of Mediterranean herbs, fertile loam and mossy bark. Medium-bodied, it has quite an earthy, restrained character in the mouth with firm, chewy tannins and a long, earth-laced finish.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
