Chateau Lajarre

Smart Buy: 91 Point Bordeaux

We know what you’re thinking – another Bordeaux deal?  We just talk about them the way they hit us … so, here we are boasting about another delicious find.  Similar to last week’s wine, our offer today hails from Bordeaux Superieur.  A designation assigned to properties’ with a strong commitment to quality yet found outside the ‘marquee’ zones dotted across the river Gironde.

Chateau Lajarre is a sleeper in the region and when we tasted this vintage we were floored by its generous fruit, savory edges and classic finish.  The 2020 harvest overall is shaping up to be a good one, with more and more delicious wines hitting our shelves … with the Chateau Lajarre encompassing all that we’ve come to enjoy from both the region & vintage.

Owned by the Lovato family for 50 years, their 82 acres of land sits on the magical combination of clay & limestone.  This combination leads to rich Merlot and expressive Cabernet Franc from which this wine is crafted.  At just $14.99 or $12.74 in a case ... it's easy to enjoy this tasty expression with elevated dishes or slow cooker favorites.
