Château Grand Launay Cotes de Bourg Rouge Pour Amelie '19

From Bordeaux's overlooked right bank appellation, this Merlot-based blend glows with deep ruby hues and an expressive nose of black cherry, cedar, and crushed herbs. The winemaker's traditional vinification and aging in French oak barrels create a wine of surprising sophistication - flavors of red plum, cocoa powder, and a distinctive stony minerality earned 92 points. The elegant finish lingers with hints of vanilla and dried flowers, making it an exceptional value for classic Bordeaux character.
