Tasting Notes and Characteristics:The first sip of Chateau Recougne Rouge wraps you in a tapestry of ripe blackcurrant, wild herbs, and a whisper of cedar, evoking the rustic charm of Bordeaux’s countryside. Crafted in France with an alcohol by volume of 13.00%, this classic red blend—anchored by Merlot with supporting notes from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon—delivers supple tannins and a lingering finish that feels both comforting and refined. Its earthy undertones and vibrant fruit make it an inspired companion for lamb or roast chicken, elevating each bite with its harmonious balance and depth.Producer Information: Château RecougneChâteau Recougne, situated in the heart of Bordeaux’s Fronsac region, traces its origins to the early 17th century when King Henry IV reputedly recognized the land for its exceptional viticultural potential. The estate has remained under the meticulous stewardship of the Milhade family since 1938, who have championed a philosophy rooted in respect for terroir and sustainable vineyard practices. Their winemaking style emphasizes traditional Bordeaux blends dominated by Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon lending structure and complexity. Beyond their flagship red wines from Fronsac’s clay-limestone soils, Château Recougne also produces a crisp Bordeaux Blanc that highlights Sauvignon Blanc’s aromatic vibrancy alongside Sémillon and Muscadelle. The estate’s commitment to expressing local character extends to limited cuvées crafted from select parcels within their Libournais holdings, further cementing their reputation for authentic regional expression in every bottle.
