Bel Ormeau
Les Herits Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux
Wine Type: Red Wine
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Grapes: 80% Merlot; 10% Cabernet Franc; 5% Cabernet Sauvignon & 5% Malbec
Winery Tasting Note: Strong wood-ageing flavors dominate this young wine. These are backed by rich black fruits and fine, stylish tannins. With its acidity, structure and firm backdrop, the wine will age well. This one of three cuvees from Bel Ormeau. Dark color with purple-blue tints. Pleasant fruity nose with spicy and roasted coffee notes. Expressive attack on the palate. A pleasant and easy to drink Bordeaux wine.
Food Pairings: Grilled red and white meat and soft cheese.
Wine Enthusiast: ”This rich, wood-aged wine is full of black fruits. Cocoa flavors are a strong presence in this wine along with the peppered plum and dense tannins. Drink this wine from 2022.”
