The Story Behind the Bottle
Jean-Marc Sauboua was born and raised in the heart of Grand Cru Bordeaux and has a book filled with useful contacts. He’s a winemaker too (trained at Château Haut Brion) as well as a top Bordeaux Buyer, hence both the great quality and value of this juicy claret. Plus, it’s from a lovely ripe vintage. Jean-Marc tasted his way through a few dozen vats of wine to pick out the very best. He then helped the winemaker put a blend together that had just the right balance of forward ripe fruit and silky tannins to make this a great-value early drinker. There’s no rush either. For now, Jean-Marc suggests pouring into a jug to aerate the wine. Then serve with midweek suppers – shepherd’s pie, chops, butter bean casserole. It’s versatile!
