Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 27 Apr 10
A full-bodied 2007, Les Asteries reveals scents of espresso roast, white chocolate, blackberries, and black currants, a deep, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and surprising volume and density.

Deep red-ruby. Aromas of black cherry, blueberry, licorice, dried flowers and spices are a bit stunted by oakiness. Sweet and rather soft on entry, then nicely stuffed with energetic fruit in the middle. The broad finish features some slightly drying oak tannins.

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.
