Three Good Bottles of Wine
I just acquired 3 fairly nice bottles of wine to add to my collection. Auchan is having their "Foire au vin", so I took advantage of that to buy a few while they had a large selection. The first one is "Château Haut-Maurac" 2001 which is a Cru Bourgeois from the Médoc region. It has the 2003 silver medal from the "Concours Mondial Bruxelles". The second is a "Château Larrivet Haut Brion" 2002. I was hoping it was one of the Château Haut-Brion wines, or similar, but it seems to be somewhat of a lesser wine than that one. The real Château Haut-Brion wines cost over 150 Euros anyway! The third bottle is a "Château Labégorce Margaux" 2002. The French Magazine, Le Point had this to say about the Château Labégorce's 2002 vintage: "Mild spices, white flowers, black-currant, bilberry. No dazzling woodiness, but a sumptuous fruitiness supported by a compact tannic background. Very long in the mouth and extremely elegant. This wine would hold its own if placed amid the crus classés." (source)

C' est avec un grand plaisir que je decouvre ces bouteilles qui, j' en doute pas, doivent etre exquises. Le vin Francais est parmi les meilleurs, sa renommee s' etant au quatres coins du monde, et notamment en Australie ou je reside.
Bonne degustation!
Merci!
Je suis maintenant au etats-unis, et je n'arrive pas a trouver les memes vins.
