Chateau Cru Godard 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux

Based on merlot, with cabernets sauvignon, franc and a bit of malbec bringing up the rear, this is a lovely introduction to the less-well know Cotes de Francs on Bordeaux's right bank. Engaging, transparent and appetising with well-defined red fruits, this has long, elegant tannins and lots of charm.
