Chateau les Bugadelles Sandokhan - La Clape

The 2017 vintage of this remarkable red wine from Domaine les Bugadelles in the warm Mediterranean climate of the La Clape uplands in southern France is a real treat. It's crafted from a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache (Garnacha), 10% Mourvedre (Monastrell), and 10% Carignan (Carinena). This medium - bodied wine bursts with flavors of fresh raspberries, juicy blackberries, wild brambles, and delicious boysenberries. As you savor it, hints of peppery spice and black tea linger on the finish, making it an unforgettable experience.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour by opening the bottle and leaving it uncorked. This helps bring out the full range of flavors. Serve it at a temperature of around 60 - 65°F (15 - 18°C), which is ideal for red wines. You can pair it with a variety of foods like grilled meats, hearty stews, or even aged cheeses. When storing the wine, keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. If you have an open bottle, re - cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for about 2 - 3 days. Remember, always drink responsibly.
