Lalande Pomerol Château des Moines aus Bordeaux, Frankreich. Aromas of black fruits, blackberries, black cherries and toasted bread. On the palate, the structure is supple and balanced. It is a delicate wine with silky tannins.

Merlot is one of the oldest Vitis vinifera varieties that ripens earlier than Carbernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Merlot is important in Bordeaux, especially in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Merlot plantings have increased significantly in recent years. The grape is very popular worldwide and people are increasingly realizing that Merlot must be planted in a fairly cool vineyard. This grape produces dark, cool, soft, spicy and fruity wines.

Cabernet Sauvignon is best known in Bordeaux where, together with merlot and cabernet franc, it produces high-class wines. It needs a lot of heat to ripen, otherwise it will become green and juicy with a taste of green pepper. Too much heat makes it soft and jam-like, with a taste of blackcurrants. Cabernet Sauvignon produces very aromatic wines with scents of blackcurrant, vanilla, spices (pepper), tobacco, plum, cherry, toasted bread and cedar. The wines usually have a long shelf life, have a lot of tannin and in principle have to mature in barriques. In general, the wines have a high phenol content, they are purple (young) or dark red (old) and have a lot of strength and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon can be found all over the world. Wherever someone wants to make a ‘serious’ wine, cabernet sauvignon is planted.

Cabernet Franc is a fairly productive variety. It is in fact the original Cabernet grape. The much more famous Cabernet Sauvignon is a descendant of Cabernet Franc. It probably originated in Bordeaux where it is one of the classic components of Bordeaux wines. In the 17th century it was taken to the Loire Valley where it was subsequently successfully planted. Cabernet Franc prefers chalky gravel, sand and clay soils and ripens about ten days earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon. It thrives very well in cooler soils. At its best, Cabernet Franc has an unmistakable and appetizing aroma of raspberries and pebbles washed in spring water and a refreshingly sharp scent of blackcurrant leaves. This aroma tickles the taste buds. Cabernet Franc is used successfully in Bordeaux where it is a major player, especially on the soils of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Furthermore, it is also very successful in the Loire and more specifically in Chinon Saumur-Champigny and Bourgeuil. The grape is also used in the South of France, Italy, California, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and South Africa. It is often used to blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous grape of all. It is therefore rightly called King Cab.

 

CULLINAIRE TIP FROM MIK LE CHEF

Ideal with classic meat dishes, such as leg of lamb, sirloin steak and hazelnut. My review: Deliciously complex, as a Bordeaux should be! This is where I get all classic: Cote de boeuf slow cooked with lots of pepper, sautéed mushrooms-preferably wild-with shallots, garlic and lots of parsley. Baked potato slices, refined with truffle tapenade and chervil, at the end. And of course the red wine reduction with shallots, bay leaf and white pepper, add a little gravy de viande and mount with butter. For absolute decadence, add yet mat blanched marrow blocks to the sauce.Serve with fleur de sel, a part.
