    In a few words ...

    This cuvée is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, completed by Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The wine is aged for 12 months before bottling. A generous, full-bodied wine with good ageing potential.

    Superb value for money for this cru bourgeois that is both gourmand and structured. The 2016 vintage is ready to drink, and the tannins are just right.

    A wine well worth the detour at this price, the presence of malbec gives it a lighter body, a little too softened by this grape variety, which I'm not fond of, but it was an interesting experience all the same.

    Very aromatic nose, blackcurrant, violet, slightly spicy. Very greedy, juicy on the palate, with just the right amount of oak to carry the wine. A fine cru bourgeois success and very good value for money.

    A dark, powerful wine, if you like game and dishes in sauce, don't hesitate for a second. It stays on the palate for a long time and brings a sensation of balance to a good jugged hare.

    Nose: Dark berries and cherries, some herbs and tobacco. Taste: juicy sweet fruit, powerful tannins with oak, toffee, herbal remnants and mint. good value for money.

    La Ribaud 2015 a very good Bordeaux to drink with a good red meat, it followed us throughout the meal. I recommend and will repurchase this wine.
