La Belle Citadelle 2020, Cabernet Sauvignon

When you're grilling steak or roasting lamb, this Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon is the bottle to reach for. Bold, rich, and ready to impress, just like the meal you’re planning.

Tasting Notes: A rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a smooth, approachable style. It opens with bold aromas of blackberries, red currants, and just a touch of pepper. The palate is generous and fruit-forward, with ripe black cherry and red berry flavors framed by soft, round tannins. A crowd-pleaser for both casual dinners and more dressed-up occasions. It’s a natural pairing with grilled beef, lamb, or duck. For the best experience, serve it slightly cool and let it open up in the glass.

Varietals: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

About the Winery: After close to 40 years of importing and distributing wines in the US and having looked at what people really enjoy, it became clear to Guy that there was a void for style, and most times quality, in the generic varietal category. Why was it not possible to deliver a wine that would duly represent it’s top peers: a Chardonnay that tastes like a classy Cote de Beaune, or a Sauvignon Blanc that hints at a Sancerre. More importantly, where were the styles that integrate origin and purpose? The desire to over deliver, surpass expectations and fully satisfy the person who is discovering the wine for the first time? This is a labor of love, and sharing this passion with others was the driving force behind the project.
