An inoffensive, light claret.
Not sure how we came across though I do remember seeing it on Peploes wine list and Tesco also stock it
– but I can’t find out much more about it, nor Chateau Rouquette.

Chateau Casse Blanc, Bordeaux, 2009
Another bottle from Laura’s Wine Club run: a super value for money Claret.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Merlot Blend
Blackcurrant, hint of oak.
Les Deux Pins Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
From the Languedoc, though the label suggests it was blended and bottled by Les Grands Chais de France at Landiras in Bordeaux where it also blends Calvet.
Purple hue, nice fruit, dry mouthfeel.
We enjoyed it.
I see this on regular offer in Dunnes.
Chateau Segonzac Héritage 2009 Bordeaux
One from the stable that Barry presented at Christmas. Really enjoyed this; big black cherry and a little oak to deliver a well-crafted wine. Nice refined blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet-franc. Good balance between the red and the black fruit.
