Why does this bottle from Antonins stands out from the crowded ocean of red Bordeaux? It has a higher than usual proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and is aged at the domaine for 3-4 years before release. These qualities are often found in the flagship wines from more famous appellations, but Antonins invests the same time and care in their humble red, which makes it an amazing value and a consistent favorite.

Deep ruby-red in colour, this Bordeaux Superieur from Chateau des Antonins has an inviting bouquet of red plum, black cherry and blackcurrant, with hints of spice. The palate is concentrated and supple, with smooth tannins and layers of bright red fruit. This Left Bank Bordeaux consists of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a tiny bit of Cabernet Franc.

This full-bodied blend is a classic representation of Bordeaux: subtle, seamless, and elegant. The perfect wine for a California Cab or red blend lover.
