Gold, Guide des Vins Gilbert et Gaillard, 2015

The 2014 vintage was a very good year in Bordeaux and even the most affordable wines can offer a lot of pleasure and complexity. Made from Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Gold Medal Château du Prieur is a tasty everyday claret.

Situated five miles from the famous medieval town of Saint Emilion, Château du Prieur is a 55 hectare estate owned by the Merit family. The domaine was founded by Emmanulle Merit and is now run by his grandson Didier with the help of his great grandson Arnaud. The property’s vineyards are composed of clay and limestone, a combination Merlot loves, with a favourable southern exposure that ensures complete ripeness and concentration of flavour. Didier and Arnaud produce a lush, fruit forward blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc intended for immediate enjoyment. Elegant and long on the finish, this classic wine is an ideal partner for roast lamb, rib of beef and richly flavoured casseroles. Let the wine breathe beforehand.

"The sort of lovely, supple claret I like to reach for at least once a week!" Jean-Marc Sauboua
