This is a soft and rounded Bordeaux blend (a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot!), complete with drying tannins and a silky mouthfeel. It is a classic example with cedar, cigar box and quite a savoury profile which is offset nicely by some dark berries coming through. This is an absolute bargain, so get in quick.

Bordeaux is a giant wine region that seems to spread halfway across western France, and with this size comes some fascinating diversity. Tiny family estates right through to some of the most famous, moat-surrounded uber wineries you can think of - Bordeaux has it all. And with all that variation comes plenty of potential little-known gems at the edges. Château Rampeau is indeed at the edges, located in the Entre-Deux-Mers appellation at Bordeaux's far eastern fringe. Here is where some of Bordeaux's young and up-and-coming producers can be found (often making bargains). Château Rampeau isn't new, as the estate dates back to the 1930s, but winemaker Bernard Meynaud is the driving force here, revitalising his family's old property with a suite of wines that have a very classic feel and a welcome modern twist.
