What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Winemakers Notes

Château de Brondeau, situated on the edge of the Dordogne near to Libourne, has belonged to the Audy family for more than a century. This magnificent estate is blessed with a beautiful 18th century residence and 10 hectares full of vines.

Since 2001, numerous investments have been made to renovate warehouses and replant vines. An extra 5 hectares were acquired which allow the estate to achieve a good level of production, increasing the estate's size to around 15 hectares.

Consisting of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon planted on alluvium read more...

I have a new favorite potential 'house wine'. It would be Chateau de Brondeau. It belongs to the Bordeaux Superieur AC, which made me expect to taste something with a higher alcohol content. I poured and got a darker ruby color than I've seen in the past couple bottles I've had from the same region. This was just enjoyable all around. The strong concentration of cherries and blackberry fruits in the beginning, the pleasant but undeniable acidity, tannins, then the lingering finish. At less than $15, its a great one to have stocked up in your cellar for a 'house wine'. read more...
