title: Château Les Bertrands 2012 Nectar des Bertrands  (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux)
description: The ninth generation of the Dublois family goes for tight cropping on only 7.5 acres for Nectar (95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon). Layers of wood dominate this wine. However, it does promise fruit as well, shown by the weight and richness. So it's a wine for a pause, to allow the intense spice and new wood flavors to die down. Firm and dry now, it will be worth the wait. Drink from 2018.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Nectar des Bertrands
