The Fournier family’s entry-level red, made with roughly 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, is a wonderful wine. The family has been farming on the south side of the Dordogne River for 130 years and consistently produce lovely fresh Bordeaux wines that are several cuts above the average estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers. Full of red and black fruit, violet and sage notes, with quite elegant tannins, this is delightful and priced for drinking it five nights a week.
