Producer Information: Chateau De Virecourt
Chateau De Virecourt, nestled in the heart of Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers region, traces its roots to a family estate established in the late 19th century, where generations have cultivated vineyards on clay-limestone soils ideal for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate’s philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the terroir of Saint-Germain-du-Puch to express itself fully in each bottle. Beyond their classic Bordeaux blends, Chateau De Virecourt also produces a crisp Sauvignon Blanc that highlights the area’s cool microclimate and a limited-production rosé crafted from direct pressing of red grapes grown on their oldest parcels. Their commitment to expressing local character has made them a respected name among producers focused on authentic regional wines within Gironde.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Les Cerisiers has a deep garnet-purple color and gives a wonderfully pure nose of warm black plums, baked blueberries and cherry pie with hints of dark chocolate, spice box and Provence herbs. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black and blue fruit, supported by soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.Barrel Sample: 88-90

This is glass staining purple, a little reduced on the nose with an austerity that takes a moment to adjust to but once it opens up, the juice and poise become clear and the mineral edge increasingly enjoyable. Perhaps not the joy of a 2015 here, but it's a good wine and should age well. Hubert de Boüard and Dominique Haverlan. Drinking Window 2021 - 2032. Barrel Sample: 90
Bordeaux: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All Bordeaux Products →Bordeaux is a renowned wine region in France, celebrated for its diverse range of wines, primarily red and white varieties. The red wines are predominantly crafted from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, while the whites typically feature Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Bordeaux wines are characterized by their full-bodied to medium-bodied textures and complex flavor profiles that include notes of blackcurrant, plum, cherry, tobacco, and leather in reds; citrus zest and stone fruit in whites.
The unique terroir of Bordeaux contributes to its distinct aromas and flavors. Red Bordeaux often exhibits dark fruit aromas alongside herbal notes from Cabernet Sauvignon and floral hints from Merlot. In contrast, white Bordeaux showcases citrus and tropical fruit characteristics with a creamy or crisp texture. These wines pair beautifully with various foods: grilled meats complement the robust reds while seafood enhances the refreshing whites. Whether for special occasions or everyday dining experiences, Bordeaux offers a versatile selection that caters to diverse palates.
