The 2016 Chateau Vilatte Bordeaux Superieur Rouge Classique is an organic, medium-bodied red blend (typically ~65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) from a highly rated vintage. It features rich notes of black plum, cassis, chocolate, and spice, with soft, granular tannins.
The wine's rich, fruit-forward nature and moderate structure make it an ideal partner for savory, rich dishes such as:
Grilled Ribeye Steak, Roast Leg of Lamb with Herbs, Classic French Onion Soup, Venison Stew and hard, aged cheeses.
