Chateau le Bourdillot Seduction Graves AOC 2009
Graves AOC
Loading...
The Graves, south of Bordeaux town, is distinguished by gravelly soil, creating clarets quite distinct in character from those of the Médoc, further north. As the name of this cuvée suggests, Le Bourdillot 2009 is gorgeously, seductively smooth.

The Wine
As a Bordeaux fan, you could not ask for a finer vintage than 2009 nor a more reasonably priced claret than Château Le Bourdillot Séduction. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for a year in fine French oak barrels and skilfully blended produce sensationally ripe, smooth and complex flavours. Le Bourdillot dates from the beginning of the 19th century and was purchased by the Haverlan family in 1906. Fourth generation owner Patrice has modernised the winery and barrel ageing facilities to make the most of the fabulous fruit quality of his old vines. Already smooth enough to enjoy now, it will also keep a few years if cellared well. Decant early to let the wine breathe and serve with roast beef, lamb, confit de canard or farmhouse cheeses.
"Not so much ‘classic’ as exceptional – this is a great 2009, the best vintage I can recall"
