A plushy, Merlot-heavy Bordeaux red blend.
The Full Review
This is a soild $20 bottle of wine. While not classically “Bordeaux” in style, the Jean Marc Bhartez does serve as a great transition for those that drink a lot of easy-drinking New World wines and are looking to try something from the Old World. The blend is Merlot-heavy, providing a bounty of violet, rose, and red plum aromas. On the palate, it’s plushy and full of soft fruit flavor, with a lasting and refreshing finish.
