2023 Chateau Le Bergey Bordeaux

Every now and then, it’s worth revisiting the classics, especially when they are as tasty as this one. Chateau Le Bergey is the second label of Chateau L’Escart, a 37 hectare vineyard that is farmed biodynamically. Though it sees some wood aging, this is a fruit forward expression of cabernet and merlot with classic cherry and brambly red fruit flavors in abundance that demands to be drunk now (I suppose you could cellar it if you must). This is a wine that screams for bloody red meat for sure, and will pair well with just about any beef or lamb dish you can imagine. That said, don’t be afraid to get adventurous here, as the tannins are gentle enough that this wine can easily be enjoyed with lighter fare or on its own. Go wild!
