Chateau Coufran, Haut Medoc, 2009
The Chateau Coufran vineyard is located to the north of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne, a town neighbouring Saint-Estèphe in the Pauillac area. It stretches across a hillside, with its highest point at 21 metres in altitude. It is composed of a single 76-hectare block, with soils primarily made up of gravel and clay.
The vines are located in the Haut-Médoc appellation and the village of Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne benefits greatly from the influence of the Gironde Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.
The final blend of the first wine is usually composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The average age of the vines is around 50 years.
At first, the Miailhe family owns the chateau since 1924.
Indeed, for the Médoc region this wine has an original blend.
Coufran belongs to the Union des Grands Crus and the Académie des Vins de Bordeaux. You definitely need to try it.
“The Pomerol of Médoc” In 1924, Château Coufran was a Cabernet Sauvignon-driven wine and almost impossible to sell during the major crises. Louis Miailhe decided to replant the vineyard with Merlot. This original idea has endured. The blend of the most recent vintages is still made up of around 85% Merlot.
The journalist who once called Coufran the “Pomerol of Médoc” perhaps gave the best definition.
Wine tasting Notes:
Château Coufran produces elegant, richly-flavoured, full bodied wines,
Thanks to traditional ageing in oak barrels, this wine has a classic, rich suppleness . The wine develops a hint of ripe fruit when it is still young.
Part of the Cru Bourgeois Supérieur status since 2003 , Château Coufran has positioned itself among the leading crus bourgeois of the Haut-Médoc.
Pairing Food Suggestions:
