This delectable petit verdot - bordeaux's potent secret weapon - is rarely seen anywhere else in the world in its purest form! the grape, named for its small berries, is used by top bordeaux chateaux to add complexity to their grand vins. The berries have thick skins too - it's the skins that give colour, body and flavour ... And this wine has all three by the shed load! owner pierre degroote was the first ever to plant petit verdot wines in the region, and the cool climate of domaine lalande has perfect conditions for concentrating fruit - notoriously difficult to ripen elsewhere, hence the rarity. Almost opaque, with mouthfilling richness of spicy black fruits and soft vanilla oak. Perfect with strong cheeses. |
