Last night I opened this delicious Laville Pavillon 2018 Bordeaux Rouge that was outstanding. The grapes here are Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot and it was so silky and smooth. I thought it was luscious without being overbearing. Beautiful! This easy drinker was a “standout expression of Bordeaux” according to judges from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge 🍷

$15 dollars for a wine that scored an amazing 91 points! Judges also say it has flavors of dried cherries, raspberry compote, soft leather, and subtle French oak that are apparent over a medium body with dusty tannins. *
I would love to pick up a case of this. Drink now! But still would love to see it develop over the next few years.
