Ch. Bertineau Saint-Vincent (0.75 L)

A beautifully balanced 2016 from a standout Bordeaux vintage, this Lalande-de-Pomerol offers a deep ruby colour and an elegant nose of black cherry, cassis and subtle mocha. On the palate it’s smooth and fresh, with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, refined finish that speaks of both fruit and finesse. Made from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, it’s an ideal match for roasted meats, game and mushroom dishes. Serve at 16–18 °C and enjoy now or over the next several years as it continues to evolve.
