2014 Lacour-Peyrade Bergerac, France, Wine Review

This wine is from Bergerac which is just east of Bordeaux in south west France.  2014 was a very difficult year in Bordeaux so I will presume as much for Bergerac although their wines are not often seen in the US.  This bottle was unfortunately, not very good and even at $10, it can not be recommended.  There is a chance that the bottle tasted was not representative so keep that in mind.  Bergerac wines tend to be Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot on Cot (Malbec).  The Ruby in color, a bit thinner.  On the palate, this has a strong geranium scent.  There is also a dusty cherry note.  The wine has drying tannins on the palate.  It is bitter.  There is some cherry fruit.  Lots of alcohol on the finish.
