Château Gemeillan Cru Bourgeois 2016 Médoc - Bordeaux

Cépages:54% Merlot - 40% Cabernet Sauvignon - 6% Cabernet Franc

Tasting notes: A Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux that delivers on the promise of being better than regular Bordeaux even while itself being reserved.

Medium-intensity ruby with some garnet around the edges, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity nose of black plum, blackberry, red cherry and strawberry with a hint of blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied Bordeaux has medium-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by ripe, medium tannin and completing with a medium finish.

The wine is mostly straightforward with hints of black olive on the finish.
