La Raison d’Hêtre Côtes de Bordeaux 2023

James Suckling

This has an attractive, subtle nose of dark berries, cigar box and an austere, asphalt-like note. Medium-bodied and well delineated, with dark fruit complemented by linear acidity and savory elegance. Lovely definition. 83% merlot and 17% cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes.

Ripe, smoky red berries and plums with a creamy, toasty edge. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and a structured, almost chalky finish. Good length to close. A blend of 83% merlot and 17% cabernet franc.
