Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon: 2018 Château Le Grand Verdus, Bordeaux Supérieur
from Got Somme : Master Sommelier's Wine Podcast · host SESSION in PROGRESS
We put two Bordeaux Chateau wines up against each other battling out for the BEST BOTTLE UNDER $30 We firstly assess our current #1 wine under $30 the 2017 Chateau Haut Madrac against the just released 2018 vintage and the results surprised us! Then we take the challenge to a bottle that on paper reads a similar story: Bordeaux Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018 vintages 13.5% alcohol BUT It becomes a very VERY different story once the bottles are poured into the glass!
