Château Cailleteau Bergeron Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux 2012 

Dark garnet color. Nose of dark berries, spices and smoke. On the palate this wine shows the Bordeaux classic balance with notes of tobacco and leather, this fruit flavors paired with an enjoyable bitterness. Approcheable now, but would surprise many of us after some ageing in a cellar. Good+ (88))

Available at the SAQ for 19,55$ (Code SAQ : 00919373)

Château Cailleteau-Bergeron Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux 2014

Lightly colored with green hue. Nose of grass, grape fruit, fresh and very “spring” season like with its flower notes. Follows on the palate with about the same flavors and despite the medium acidity level, this wine does have some freshness to it. Will be at its best paired with cheeses of a meal with white meat. Good+ (88)

Made of  Sauvignon Blanc (70%) and Sauvignon Gris (30%). Aged in stainless tanls. Alcohol level of 13%
