Chateau Bellevue

Château Bellevue Supérieur Rouge

Château Bellevue Superieur Rouge pairs nicely with grilled meats such as duck, roasted beef, and leg of lamb.

The slight spice to wine makes it a great accompaniment for pastas with red sauce and barbeque foods such as chicken, sliders, and ribs.

The velvety finish to the wine complements a variety of cheeses.

This Bordeaux from the Medoc area has a shiny ruby color. The nose is fruity with cherry notes. It gives freshness to your palate, fineness and roundness sensation.

The label of B de Loudenne has elegance and breed, which distinguish and make the reputation of the great wines of Chateau Loudenne since more than one and half century. The pink of the label reminds the color of the front of chateau Loudenne.

The "B" of Loudenne, which consists of grapes from the bottom of the hills of Château Loudenne, is the Bordeaux AOC area close to the Médoc appellation.

This wine is a subtle blend

of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, offering fruity aromas, which add to the wine's freshness. It has the elegance and distinguished reputation of the wines of Château Loudenne.

Classified as Médoc Cru Bourgeois, Château Greysac has been a member of the elite Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux since 1982. Today, its full- bodied, well-structured wines are synonymous with classic Bordeaux at an affordable price.

The Château's characteristic style is indeed one of great aromatic finesse, combined with precise, sumptuous fruit flavors that develop in elegance and complexity over time.

Château Greysac, located in the Médoc hamlet of Begadan, north of St. Estèphe, was built in the 1700s. For many years, the property belonged to the late Baron François de Gunzburg. In 1975, the property was sold to the Agnelli family, which transformed the estate and its winemaking capabilities significantly.

Château Greysac was purchased by Jean Guyon, owner of Domaine Rollan de By, in 2012 joining their exciting portfolio of Bordeaux wines.

Duche de Longueville - $9 "Muscadet" Off-Dry Sparkling Cider NV (Normandy, France)

Delicious, all natural with no additives, and perfect for the season. Duche de Longueville in Normandy, France opened in 1925 as a distillery, but switched to cider production in 1950.

Their orchards have grown and today they grow fifteen different apple varieties. They have gained a reputation of being the only French company specializing in naturally-fermented ciders. No additional ingredients are present - even the "sparkle" occurs naturally during fermentation.

The Muscadet de Dieppe apple variety is small and has a red-orange color. It is excellent for cider because of its sweet and aromatic characteristics. The resulting cider is fresh, crisp, and bursting with delicate apple flavors. It's an excellent addition for Thanksgiving or your holiday party!
