CHATEAU LES PETITS MOINES 2009

Description & Press Reviews:
Wine Style: Dry Red

Chateau Les Petits Moines lies in the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation which is situated on the right bank of the River Gironde some 30 miles downstream from Bordeaux. The 47 acres of vineyards at Les Petits Moines are in the small commune of Saint Vivien de Blaye and are owned by Frederic Heraud.

The red wines from the Côtes de Blaye are well worth seeking out and are often powerful, aromatic wines that develop notes of spice as they age. Chateau Les Petits Moines is no exception – the 2009 was awarded a gold medal in the Bordeaux Challenge International du Vin in May 2011.

This is an impressive wine that offers superb value for money considering its quality.  The 2009 is a deep dense garnet red wine, well balanced, silky and very well structured with layers of blackcurrant, rich red fruits and oak followed by hints of cloves, rosemary and spice.

Chateau Les Petits Moines will pair very well with rump steak, rack of lamb, game, roast duck and pigeon as well as sharper flavoured cheeses and salami. Try it with spicy chicken dishes, braised liver and bacon or beef wellington.
