Lagrave-Martillac Pessac-Leognan Rouge 2021 (1x75cl)

Pessac-Léognan sits on gravelly soils south of Bordeaux city, and reds from here — a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend, typically — tend to show a distinctive earthy, slightly smoky edge alongside the fruit.

An approachable Bordeaux for weeknight dinners, or a thoughtful gift at a friendlier price point.

Tasting notes

Usually dark berry fruit with graphite and light tobacco notes, medium tannins and a savoury finish.
