Château Le Bournac Bordeaux 750ml is a distinguished French red wine from the renowned Bordeaux region, produced by a family-owned estate in Sauveterre de Guyenne, Gironde. Crafted exclusively from 100% Merlot grapes, this wine exemplifies the classic Bordeaux style with elegance, depth, and complexity. The 750ml bottle provides the ideal serving size for both casual enjoyment and formal dining occasions.

Visually, the wine presents a deep ruby red colour with subtle purple edges, signaling youth and vibrancy. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of dark berries, plums, black currant, and olives, layered with delicate hints of savory herbs, chocolate, and mineral notes that reflect the terroir of the region. The palate reveals a well-structured body, with fine, silky tannins and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Flavors of ripe fruit, cocoa, and subtle smoky oak combine harmoniously, creating a rich yet approachable wine.

Balanced and elegant, Château Le Bournac Bordeaux is suitable for immediate drinking but also has the potential to develop over the next 5–7 years, reaching optimal maturity around 2029. The wine pairs beautifully with red meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty cheeses, making it an excellent choice for both celebratory occasions and everyday enjoyment. Its 750ml capacity ensures a generous pour for gatherings or intimate dinners.

This wine also makes an excellent gift for wine enthusiasts, reflecting the heritage, quality, and sophistication associated with Bordeaux wines. Château Le Bournac embodies the perfect combination of tradition, flavor, and elegance in every bottle.
