Brand & Producer Background
The Comte De Tassin Bordeaux Red hails from the esteemed Vignobles Gonfrier, based in Rions, Bordeaux. With a rich history that traces back to the medieval era, the Gonfrier family has maintained a legacy of winemaking excellence. Their operations are extensive, collaborating with over forty partner growers to ensure the highest quality grapes that reflect their historic traditions.
Appellation & Terroir
Designated as AOC Bordeaux Rouge, this wine draws from diverse terroirs across Entre-Deux-Mers, featuring clayey-limestone slopes and gravelly plateaus ideal for Merlot and Cabernet cultivation. The meticulous attention to terroir manifests in the wine’s rich and balanced profile.
Grape Varieties & Blend
The wine features a classic blend predominantly of Merlot (70%), complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). This combination results in a full-bodied wine characterized by its roundness, fruit-forward notes, and structural complexity.
Viticulture & Sustainability
Vignobles Gonfrier prioritizes sustainable agriculture, with all grapes sourced from vineyards holding the High Environmental Value (HVE Level 3) certification. This sustainability commitment is a keystone of their philosophy, underscoring reduced chemical use and biodiversity preservation.
Vinification
Incorporating both traditional and innovative techniques, the vinification process includes cold pre-fermentation maceration and controlled temperature fermentations to enhance the wine’s aromatic profile. Aging involves both stainless steel and American oak barrels, imparting subtle oak and vanilla notes without overshadowing the rich fruit essence.
Tasting Profile
This medium-bodied wine boasts a deep garnet red color with aromas of red cherries, blackcurrants, and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, it reveals supple tannins and a balanced acidity, ensuring a long, pleasurable finish. Its versatile profile makes it an ideal companion to veal, poultry, and mild cheeses.
Market Position
Occupying a niche within the value-for-money Bordeaux segment, the Comte De Tassin Bordeaux Red is available through specialty retailers, offering wine enthusiasts an authentic Bordeaux experience without the premium pricing of classified estates.
