Full of sunshine and flavour!
The colour is mid- to dark ruby. The aromas are quite intense, with darker fruits, mostly cherry. Cherry elements continue on the harmonious and fruity palate. The balance comes from fresh acidity, and you also get fine-grained tannins, plus a light spicy finish. Very Highly Recommended.
Wine Searcher tells us that even though it is regarded “like a second wine for the estate”, this Cadet de la Begude has been rated “as one of the top 5 IGP Mediterranée wines”.
The vineyard, certified organic in 2006, is in Bandol, and indeed, many of its wines carry the Bandol appellation stamp. Bandol, though, demands that AOP wines contain at least 50% Mourverde. This Cadet, though, is a blend of more or less equal parts of Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvedre, and has to settle for the IGP designation—none the worse for that.
Elevate your dining experience by pairing this Rouge IGP with Barbecue, grilled lamb, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. The wine's versatility makes it a perfect match for various dishes, complementing the flavours and enhancing your meal.
The producers are certainly happy with it: “This vintage, with its gourmet simplicity, embodies a new generation of wines accessible to all. An easy-drinking wine, full of sunshine and flavours, which can be enjoyed on all occasions.”
