Chateau du Cedre, Cuvee GC, 2015/2016

Region: Bordeaux, France
Producer: Chateau du Cedre
Vintage: 2015/2016
Grape: Malbec (100%)
Type: Red Wine
Size: 75cl

Notes: 

As usual, the GC du Cèdre benefited from a luxurious aging in barrels, thirty months for the 2015. On the nose, notes of toast, crème de cassis, violet and menthol. On the palate, volume, smoothness, roundness and a good structure but nothing massive.

Food Pairing:  It pairs extremely well with leaner red meats, and even lighter cuts like dark meat turkey or roasted pork. The pairing secret of Malbec is that it works well with pepper, sage, creamy mushroom sauces, melted cheese, and in particular, blue cheese.
