Chateau La Rame looks across the Garonne river towards the vineyards of Sauternes and Barsac. In a classic tale of a wine from the wrong side of the ‘tracks’, the local appellation of Sainte Croix du Mont was once a popular source of sweet wine, but fell into obscurity in the 20th century without headline grabbing estates. The current generation of owners at La Rame are dedicated to filling that role, and have established a modern reputation for classic bordeaux of every sort. This dark and well-manicured red offers everything a Bordeaux should. It begins with aromas of plum, blackcurrant, tomato leaf and tobacco, granite and well worn leather. Full bodied and deeply etched with tannins, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend is all about the earth. Dried leaves and fresh tilled black soil, clay and graphite, all embedded with black cherry compote and a whisper of cinnamon and violets. It comes as a bit of a surprise that this wine hardly touched oak at all on the way from vine to bottle, with only 10% of the wine aged in old barrels. All that intensity and sturdy earthiness is the soil-driven work of grapes. This wine is an affordable window into the heart of the region, and we recommend classic dishes featuring mushrooms and beef.
