The 2022 Vignobles Lacoste Socrate presents a bold venture outside traditional Bordeaux boundaries, primarily featuring the Marselan grape, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend results in a wine with a captivating dark red fruit profile—think plums and blackberries—with a palate that is both deep and robust. Its structure is commanding yet nuanced, with long, firm tannins, and a memorable finish.
The wine's richness and depth make it an ideal partner for hearty, flavorful dishes. A classic Bordeaux pairing with a twist, such as a lamb tagine with prunes and almonds, can mirror the wine's robust palate and dark fruit notes. For a vegetarian option, a lentil and mushroom stew, rich in earthy flavors and umami, would complement the wine's complexity and body. A charcuterie board featuring bold cheeses and smoked meats would work well too.
