Côtes de Bourg Rouge

Although the appellation Côtes de Bourg also produces dry and fruity white wines, it is renowned for their dark and robust reds that are primarily based on Merlot with small percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.

These garnet-colored wines are characterized by elegant, soft tannins and an aromatic profile of red and dark fruits that are commonly complemented with spicy nuances. Depending on their age and character, which may range from fruit-forward to more robust expressions, Côtes de Bourg wines pair well with red meat, poultry, lamb, or game, but they can also be an excellent match to charcuterie, sausages, terrines or patés, river fish, and cheese.
