Few can touch the value offered by Château Rauzan-Gassies’ 2018 L’Orme—a 95-point drink-now champion produced by the Margaux Second Growth. Bold, rich, and under the radar, it’s a rare chance to try this category of producers on a budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL’Orme is a blend of approximately 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet grown on the sandy gravel soils of the Medoc, just outside Margaux. This is a classic left bank Bordeaux, full-bodied with ripe cassis flavors, notes of violet, vanilla and sandalwood, followed by a firm, dry yet elegant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is without any doubt, a truly great vintage. How could it not be with such exceptional weather conditions from mid-June to the end of October! The harvests took place in the sunshine, at a measured pace, perfectly adapted to achieving the objectives for each plot in terms of phenolic and aromatic maturity. The end result is a wine that is powerful yet elegant with very ripe tannins and well-balanced in acidity and alcohol. Comparable to the exceptional 2005 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Rauzan-Gassies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975638159584,"sku":"102481","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-rauzan-gassies-l-orme-de-rauzan-gassies-haut-medoc_1.jpg?v=1663884433","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-rauzan-gassies-lorme-de-rauzan-gassies-haut-medoc-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
