(at Carte Blanche Tasting, 05 Feb 2019)
Catherine & Jean-Mary Le Bihan's excellent range of wines from their patchwork of vineyards in the underrated Côtes de Duras are well worth seeking out. This Merlot-Malbec a real thirst-quencher: light and bright, with tangy plum fruit, fine fruit tannins and brisk acidity.
