The Expression de Médoc stands out for its classic Left Bank profile at an accessible level. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with structure, graphite and longevity, while Merlot adds softness and roundness. The wine prioritises balance over showiness, offering a true expression of Médoc terroir that appeals to Bordeaux traditionalists and modern drinkers alike. With maturity beginning to show, it delivers authenticity, value and unmistakable regional character.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with youthful vibrancy. The nose opens with blackcurrant, ripe cherry and plum, followed by subtle notes of pepper, dried herbs and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is smooth and rounded — dark berries, soft spice and a gentle savoury edge unfold across polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps the finish clean and lively, with lingering fruit and warmth.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs effortlessly with grilled meats, roast chicken, burgers, tomato-based pasta and mushroom dishes. Its smooth tannins and balanced fruit also make it an excellent companion for cheese boards and casual sharing plates, where versatility and approachability shine.
