Chateau Le Breuil Renaissance Medoc Bordeaux

 

Winery: Chateau Le Breuil Renaissance

Year: 2001

Type: Red

Country: France (Medoc area of Bordeaux)

Grape Variety: 60% Merlot & 40% Cabernet Sauvignon

Note: Special Reserve

Alcohol: 12.5%

Mevushal: No

Date Reviewed: 4/12/06

 

Color: 2.5 (of 3)

Note: A deep rich bright ruby color. Very nice.

 

Aroma: 5.5 (of 7)

Note: Hints of berries and nuts, a bit light though. It's a nice, pleasant aroma, just not enough of it.

 

Taste: 9 (of 10)

Note: A very nice smooth texture with blackberry, plum and cherry flavors. A nice nutty flavor as well. A very good dry bordeaux that I really enjoyed. My brother-in-law liked it as well, and he's very particular. For Uncle Eric to like a kosher wine, it has to be good!

 

Total: 17 (of 20)

 

Food: We tried this wine with meatballs in a heavy tomato gravy with lots of fresh tomato chunks along with fresh asparagus. The flavors played very well together and I'll be buying more of this one.
