{"product_id":"bordeaux-rouge-chateau-alexandre-2022","title":"Bordeaux Rouge Chateau Alexandre 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bordeaux Rouge signed Chateau Alexandre is a pure Merlot that is appreciated for its \u003cstrong\u003edistinctly fruity\u003c\/strong\u003e and very clean \u003cstrong\u003etaste\u003c\/strong\u003e. This red wine originates in the Entre-deux-Mers area, where the family-run Chateau Alexandre was founded in 1964. The appellation 'Entre-deux-Mers' comes from the French expression '\u003ci\u003eentre deux marées\u003c\/i\u003e', literally 'between the two tides', to emphasise the geographical position of the area, squeezed between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChateau Alexandre Bordeaux Rouge is a 100% Merlot from vines planted about 25 years ago at an altitude of 100 metres above sea level, in a position overlooking the Garonne valley. The vines grow on soils composed of a layer of \u003cstrong\u003esurface gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e lying on top of a layer of clay and limestone, with an excellent south and south-east exposure that allows the grapes to ripen optimally. Once harvested, the grapes are transferred to the cellar for classic red vinification with alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks in contact with the skins. This is followed by ageing for several months in French oak barrels before final bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bordeaux Chateau Alexandre Rouge is dark ruby red in colour with purple highlights. The nose perceives pleasant and clear fruity aromas of red and black fruits, such as blackberry, cherry and blueberry, flanked by a fine mineral note. In the mouth, it is very dense and full-bodied, yet not lacking in freshness and harmony, with \u003cstrong\u003etannins that are present but not at all rigid\u003c\/strong\u003e to accompany the clean, fruity finish. We recommend pairing this Bordeaux Rouge with mature cheeses or with various meat dishes, white or red, such as roasts, stews and grilled meats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Alexandre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48819906478359,"sku":"22V103053","price":164.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/1860\/5335\/files\/bordeaux-rouge-chateau-alexandre-202220251015171742_5aa05cd9-d764-46ce-912b-960afdf3d0ea.png?v=1765401994","url":"https:\/\/checkout-no.callmewine.com\/products\/bordeaux-rouge-chateau-alexandre-2022","provider":"Callmewine UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
