POWERFUL REDS; OLD WORLD (UNDER £15)

Powerful reds; Old World - Château MOURAS. Graves, Bordeaux

2006 Château MOURAS. Graves, Bordeaux

Alcohol Percentage: 13%
Area: Graves is the long-famous area just south of the town of Bordeaux. Since 1987, however, the northern section has been called Pessac-Léognan, and the most famous estates (Haut-Brion and La Mission) are now not officially 'Graves'. The soil throughout the region is gravel and sand
Grape Variety: 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc
Producer: Produced by Jean-Christophe Barbe, of Sauternes estate Château Laville
Cellar Potential: 2010-2016
Food Match: The truffley richness of this claret calls out for strong-flavoured red meat dishes
Old Bridge Rating: Really very classic Graves - richer than a Médoc but also more earthy (the word 'gravelly' really does come to mind)
