France

The 2022 Vignobles Lacoste "Dompter la Bete" is a distinguished right bank Bordeaux that artfully blends 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Malbec. It captivates with pure red fruit on the palate, where cherries and redcurrant take center stage, complemented by soft, sandy tannins that lend a smooth texture. The wine exhibits real tension, a dynamic interplay between its vibrant fruitiness and structured depth, embodying the balance and elegance that Bordeaux is celebrated for.

This Bordeaux's refined character and supple tannins make it a versatile companion to both hearty and delicate dishes. A classic pairing would be a tender roast lamb or duck, where the meat's richness is elegantly cut through by the wine's fruitiness and acidity. For a vegetarian option, a cheese platter featuring aged cheeses, such as Comté or Gruyère, would also harmonize beautifully, highlighting the wine's depth and tension.
