Château Jansenant Côtes de Bourg AOC 2015

Château Jansenant Côtes de Bourg AOC 2015 is a perfect example of a really good quality red wine which can be bought for a reasonable price. This wine won a gold medal at the Concours International De Lyon in 2017. It thoroughly deserves its prize. It is an uncompromising wine from the Bordeaux region and has all the attributes of an easily recognisable Bordelais.

It is exceptionally well balanced for tannin, and acidity. It is fruity but with a strong taste of vanilla; it almost reminded me of marzipan. It is a full bodied wine which rests long on the palate.

We drank a half bottle of wine with sirloin steak last night: it goes perfectly with beef and refreshes the palate. After finishing the meal I was slow to drink the remaining half glass. It is not wine for slugging back at a party, you must enjoy this wine with good food.

The wine is another winner from Bordeaux that proves that you do not need to pay a stratospheric price for a really good wine.  I recommend that you try this wine which can be left longer to mature further - in a cellar.  We bought ours at a supermarket in France but it is quite easy to find outside of the homeland.
