Clos Floridène Graves Rouge is an elegant red wine from the Graves appellation, made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small percentage of Petit Verdot. The wine has a deep ruby red color and presents aromas of ripe blackberries, plums and cherries, complemented by subtle notes of spices, tobacco and a hint of vanilla thanks to the maturation in oak barrels. In the mouth, the wine offers a fine structure with supple tannins, a beautiful freshness and a balanced body. The wine has a long and refined aftertaste, which promises its maturation potential.
Wine serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C.
Clos Floridène Graves Rouge is an excellent choice with grilled red meats, such as steak or lamb chops. It also goes well with game dishes, such as venison steak or roasted duck. In addition, the wine is a good match with strong cheeses, such as an old Gouda or blue cheese, and can be delicious with stews or rich pasta dishes such as lasagna or bolognese.
Clos Floridène is owned by Denis and Florence Dubourdieu, both influential figures in the Bordeaux wine world. The estate, located in the Graves appellation, is known for its attention to detail and use of traditional wine-growing methods, combined with modern techniques. The chalky clay soils of the vineyards produce wines with exceptional minerality and structure. The white wines of Clos Floridène are often praised for their elegance, balance and excellent aging potential, and are a fine example of the top quality that Graves Blanc has to offer.
