Chateau Rousselle French Red
A small stock Bordeaux red from Cotes de Bourg, right here in Commack
The story behind Chateau Rousselle
Cotes de Bourg is a Bordeaux appellation on the right bank, where the Dordogne and Gironde meet north of Blaye. Reds here are mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and they tend to drink rounder and a touch more generous than the gravelly left bank, with dark plum fruit and a soft earthy edge.
