DESCRIPTION

The Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux from Château La Fleur Fompeyre is a generous and refined red wine that reflects the charm of the Right Bank. Crafted mainly from Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers a balance of ripe fruit, freshness, and silky tannins. The wine expresses aromas of red and black berries, spice, and subtle earthy notes. Harmonious and elegant, it is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful aging.

EYE

A deep garnet-red color with brilliant ruby highlights, showing both intensity and refinement in the glass. Its brightness reflects the wine’s youth and energy, while hints of maturity suggest depth.

NOSE

The bouquet is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, accented by notes of violet, spice, and a touch of tobacco. A subtle mineral undertone enhances its complexity.

MOUTH

On the palate, it is round and structured, with flavors of juicy dark fruits, cocoa, and soft spices. The tannins are velvety yet present, while the balanced acidity adds freshness and length. The finish is elegant, persistent, and marked by a hint of graphite.

PAIRING

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, lamb chops, and hearty stews. It also complements duck, charcuterie, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for both casual dinners and refined occasions.

Château La Fleur Fompeyre

Château La Fleur Fompeyre is a family-owned estate located in the hills of Castillon, near Saint-Émilion. Benefiting from clay-limestone soils and optimal exposure, the property is dedicated to producing wines that showcase the richness of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. With careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking, the château creates cuvées that embody balance, authenticity, and the timeless elegance of the region.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the world's most famous fine-wine region, home to legendary châteaux, the 1855 Classification and elegant red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as great dry and sweet whites.

Geographic position: Southwestern France, in the Gironde department around the city of Bordeaux, along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary, about 50 km from the Atlantic. Around 270,000 acres of vines make it France's largest fine-wine vineyard.

Origin & history: The Romans planted vines here in the 1st century. The marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry Plantagenet in 1152 placed Bordeaux under English rule for 300 years, and its "claret" became England's favourite wine. Merchants (négociants) and the 1855 Classification built its global prestige.

Main appellations & varieties: Left Bank (Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Pessac-Léognan, Graves) led by Cabernet Sauvignon; Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Fronsac) led by Merlot and Cabernet Franc; Entre-Deux-Mers and Sauternes for whites from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.

Food specialties: Entrecôte à la bordelaise, Pauillac lamb, Arcachon oysters with Sauvignon Blanc, cèpes mushrooms, lamprey stew and canelés, the little caramelised cakes of Bordeaux.
