The Chateau Bourdieu Absolu 2018 is a rich, ample Bordeaux from Blaye with Merlot as the dominant grape, supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers ripe fruit, good depth, well-integrated oak and firm but polished tannins. While it can be enjoyed now, it has the structure to age a few more years. Pair it with hearty red meats, game or strong cheeses.
