Chateau Recougne Bordeaux Superieur 2016
About the wine
Classic Bordeaux Supérieur from a 17th-century estate
-
Blend Merlot, Cab Sauv and Cabernet Franc together and what do you get? This robust red that’s dominated by a magnificent dark, oaky character. It comes from a 17th-century estate that’s amongst some of the most well established of Bordeaux Supérieur and boy oh boy does it know it!
- Once described by Bordeaux know-it-all Robert Parker as “one of the more reliable names in Bordeaux”, if beef is on the menu, then make sure you’ve got a bottle of Recougne. In fact, we’re off to the butchers right now…
-
We’ve had the chance to cherry-pick the best of Majestic wines to plug gaps in our range. This wine wasn’t funded by Angels, so doesn’t carry an Angel saving. But thanks to Majestic’s buying power, you still get it at a snip!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Marc and Elodie Milhade
Meet Marc and Elodie. Together they are a sibling duo taking meticulous care of 100 hectares of family vineyards in France. It’s a business spanning 4 generations that started back in 1938 so they have taken the reins of something really rather special.
- To them, Merlot is King. It’s perfectly adapted for their land and makes the smoothest, silkiest wines that, they say, keep them coming back for more with every sip!
- Perhaps the most special moment for them so far, was when they discovered the oldest vintage bottled by their great grandfather… 6 bottles dating back to 1949! They have just one word to describe it, outstanding! Jealous? Us? Never.
