Tasting - Chateau Davril Bordeaux (4/16)

 Name: Chateau Davril Bordeaux 

Grape: Merlot (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Cabernet Franc (20%)

Region: Bordeaux 

Country: France 

Vintage: 2019

Price: $17.95


Today I’m going to try my first Bordeaux blend! Feel like, with how much the region is talked about, it’s a must-try! Looking at its entry in Wine Folly (pg 83), it provides the following tasting notes: 


  • Black currant

  • Black Cheery 

  • Graphtite!?

  • Chocolate

  • Dried Herbs

It also describes it as having a strong body, strong tannins, and medium-low acidity. 


Alright, time to taste! First impression: this is really delicious! I really can detect the chocolate, and a little bit of the dried herbs. I can’t taste the graphite (yay?). Overall I would definitely recommend trying this type of wine, although, having only tried this particular bottle, I don’t have a reference point to say whether this particular brand and vintage is a good choice.
