Louis Eschenauer Bordeaux
Pour this and you get proper Bordeaux without the proper-Bordeaux price or the fuss. It's smooth and rounded, full of juicy red berries and a little blackcurrant, with tannins so soft they basically wave you in. Got nyama choma on the go, or a slow Friday and a good series? This is the bottle you reach for and nobody complains. We'll get it to your door fast, any hour.
Bright ruby in the glass, leaning a touch toward brick at the edge. The nose is all red fruit, think raspberry and ripe strawberry, with a quiet whisper of vanilla and spice behind it. First sip is generous and supple: red berries up front, a thread of blackcurrant, and tannins that feel velvety rather than grippy. It's dry but never austere, with enough structure to keep things interesting and a finish that lingers nicely. Easy company without being simple.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Louis Eschenauer, one of Bordeaux's old-guard merchant houses. The story starts with a man who left Alsace for Bordeaux back in the 1820s and built a wine-trading name that locals eventually nicknamed "Uncle Louis." Today the house is part of Les Grands Chais de France, but the job is the same as it ever was: take the classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and make it approachable. France, in the glass, no passport required.
