You could devote a lifetime's worth of tasting to the wines of Bordeaux and never get bored, such is the staggering array of wines from France's most classic wine appellation. With that in mind, we're always on the hunt for hidden gems from this historic region, and were thrilled to come across this flagship red from Château Pithivier. While many Bordeaux reds in this price range are good, very few go beyond what you might call easy-drinking, but somewhat forgettable weeknight wines - not so for this bottling! Made from Merlot and Cabernet France, this is a classically-structured red with mid-length cellaring potentially. We'd recommend decanting this in its youth, or cellaring for a further 3-5 years to allow the tannins to integrate further. Serve at about 18 C.
