Chateau de Fontenille Bordeaux Clairet

2010 Chateau de Fontenille Bordeaux Clairet, Grand Vin de Bordeauz, France, $14 (S) – Rating 87

This rosé is thick and chewy. A man’s rosé, if you will. Made predominantly from Cabernet Franc and other Bordeaux varietals, this enjoyable offering sports flavors of strawberry, dark cherry and spice with just a hint of tannin to add to the full flavor. A fantastic value at $12-$14. Excellent with grilled salmon.
