Red: Château Moulin de Mallet 2006 Family-owned since 1898, the vineyard of Château Moulin de Mallet gradually expanded over time. It is a Bordeaux A.O.C. (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) located on the “plateau de Pugeols”, a rocky outcrop overlooking the Dordogne River. The entire estate has been modernized and the vineyard is run with passion by Mr Couderc. with the help of his son Julien, a qualified viticulturist and oenologist. This 2006 vintage is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep red color with a bouquet of red fruits. It can be drunk young thanks to its supple fleshy structure, but has ageing potential up to 2012. It will accompany well grilled red meats, game, spicy dishes and cheese.

White: Château Marie Plaisance 2007 Being thought of as “poor man's Bordeaux” has never really pleased the wine growers of Bergerac, but this lovely, calm, hilly country has feuded with the Bordelais since even before King Edward III prohibited the passage of wine, fruit, men, women and children (in other words, anything and anyone) across the river to Bordeaux. Château Marie Plaisance is a Bergerac wine, which is part of the South West region. It is a blend of 60% Sauvignon, 25% Semillon and 15% muscadelle. It has a beautiful yellow green color, a very intense nose quite complex with notes of exotic fruits. This dry and very fruity wine will accompany well sea food and fish. It needs to be drunk young! To order, click here: Bottle ($16.00), Case ($153.60 - 20% off!).
