Le Coq Gaulois
Bordeaux AOP, France
Classic textures and flavors from the Old World
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Le Coq Gaulois
Bordeaux Rouge
Our Le Coq Gaulois Bordeaux Rouge is a harmonious blend of fruity, oaky and earthy notes with food-friendly textures. The Gironde River divides the historic region of Bordeaux into three distinct sections. Our blend is crafted in the Left Bank style, exhibiting rich dark fruit, savory characteristics and refined tannins. The warm waters of the nearby Gulf Stream extend the growing season as they flow along the coastline. This maritime influence teams up with diverse, well-drained soils to create perfect conditions for cultivating the bold red grapes Bordeaux is celebrated for. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot form the core of the region's iconic blends, cherished by a dedicated community of red Bordeaux enthusiasts. This wine is a delicious taste of a famous region. Enjoy it as the locals do with seared duck breast, a rack of lamb, or roasted potatoes.

WINE REGION:
Bordeaux AOP
Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) classification for French wine relates to wine being from a specific region that is significantly regulated. The regions are both large and small, each with its own set of rules for permitted varietals, production standards and quality control cues.

Earthy and savory aromas of forest floor and dried herbs introduce this complex Old World-style Cabernet. The palate is medium-bodied with subtle acidity and silky tannins. Spicy notes of clove join ripe blackberry and plum flavors, followed by a satisfying, juicy finish.
