Château de Gassis Bordeaux 2016

Château de Gassis 2016, a Bordeaux Supérieur from the Commune of Montussan in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, is a testament to the Maulin family's dedication to crafting exceptional wines. Their 53-hectare vineyard, predominantly planted with 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, thrives in the clay-limestone soils of a picturesque hillside. With 35-year-old vines, a vineyard area of 25 hectares, and a grape yield of 42 hectoliters per hectare, every detail is thoughtfully tended to, from vine density to sustainable farming practices.

In the glass, this wine reveals a deep, inviting color. On the nose, it tantalizes with aromas of red fruit, luscious cherry, and subtle hints of spice and mint. The palate experience is characterized by its round and full-bodied nature, showcasing excellent concentration and a harmonious balance. The wine's eight-week maceration period results in a beautifully colored elixir that bursts with flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression that encapsulates the essence of Bordeaux winemaking tradition. Since this Merlot-dominant style of wine is on the leaner side, it pairs well with a juicy steak, Asian-style pork chops, or lamb chops with creamy roasted garlic aioli on the side. Other dishes that pair well include beef stew, red meat, roast lamb, and spaghetti meatballs in a tomato jam sauce.
