The 2018 Lamothe-Bergeron is terrific. Sweet floral accents, red berry fruit, cedar, pipe tobacco and dried flowers all run through the 2018. Readers will find a Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois that delivers the goods. The 2018 is elegant, full of personality, and, most importantly, flat-out delicious.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
