Bernard Magrez, Le Domaine des Songes Rouge, Bergerac, 2015

Tasted by: Simon Wright
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2020
Located directly east of Bordeaux, Bergerac cultivates many of the same varietals as its more esteemed neighbour. However, despite this wine being 100% Merlot it is light years away from the right-bank style. A bombastic nose of rich red fruit supported by oak. Tannins are ripe and the palate is lush with layers of plummy, sweet fruit.
