Château Fontaubert 2009 Cuvée Tradition

Another great find in our local Albert Heijn's wine section. It's amazing with what they come up with every now and then, outside their regular repeating collection of brands. I can highly recommend this Grand Vin de Bordeaux. One of the premier selection criteria for me, is the text 'Mis en bouteille au château' which is for me an indication that the wine has not been bought by a trader who blends it with who-knows-what from where. I don't say blends are bad, but in my experience one has a lesser chance for a wine that stays good for one or two days.
