A light, lovely, charming claret, Château de Haux Côtes de Bordeaux is a juicy crowd-pleasing red Bordeaux. Its bright ruby robe, beguiling bouquet, friendly upfront flavor, and gracious huggable body make for one very pleasing, easy-drinking red wine. If you are expecting or looking for a tannic monster, please apply elsewhere. It is all about fine, everyday drinking – right now. The aromatic profile of cassis, cedar, and mulberry, coupled with the round, huggable savor of crushed berries and sandalwood, make for plain, old-fashioned good drinking. Bravo! This is the kind of wine that made Bordeaux famous centuries ago, and why not?

About the producer: On 17 hectares, located in the heart of the siliceous gravels of the Margaux Appellation, these warm, naturally well-drained soils from the Quaternary permit roots to grow deep. The vineyard produces, depending on the vintage, from 45,000 to 90,000 bottles per year. Ideal vine age averaging 42 years, optimum plant density of 10,000 vines per hectare, and typical varietals: majority Cabernet Sauvignon, all come together to produce wines of rare quality and uncontested character, intense and with great finesse. Over the past two hundred years, the wines of Château Boyd-Cantenac have been made in the tradition of the great wines of Margaux.
