Château d’Arcins Haut Médoc 2005 by Cru Bourgeois France

The Médoc is a region of France, well known as a wine growing region, located in the département of Gironde, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, north of Bordeaux. Its name comes from (Pagus) Medullicus, or “country of the Medulli”, the local Celtic tribe. The region owes its economic success mainly to the production of red wine; it is home to around 1,500 vineyards.
The Château picture on the label is interesting which look like painting. The picture looks more stand out than the brand.

I have not tasted this wine yet. I keep it on my wine rack collection.

Kressmann Médoc Grande Reserve 2006 by Kressman France.

Médoc is an AOC for wine in the Bordeaux wine region of southwestern France, on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary that covers the northern section of the viticultural strip along the Médoc peninsula. The zone is sometimes called Bas-Médoc, though this term is not permitted on any label. With few exceptions there is produced only red wine, and no white wine has the right to be called Médoc.

The red color label on the bottle cap is so eye catching. I have not tried this wine yet. I like to put it on my wine rack collection.

Château du Taillan Haut-Médoc 2006

Château du Taillan Haut-Médoc 2006 by Cru Bourgeois France.

Haut-Médoc is an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for wine in the Bordeaux wine region of southwestern France, on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary. Covering a large part of the viticultural strip of land along the Médoc peninsula, the zone covers approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) of its length.

The Cru Bourgeois classification lists some of the high quality wines from the Left Bank Bordeaux wine regions that were not included in the 1855 Classification of Classed Growths, or Grands Crus Classés. As the classification of Classed Growths had only one change since 1856, it came to be widely regarded as outdated, and many wine writers agree that there is considerable overlap in quality between the Classed Growths and the Cru Bourgeois.

I like red and white combination on the label and cap. So eye catching. The building picture on the label is interesting. It make me eager to know what building it is. I have not tasted this wine yet. I like to put it on my wine rack collection next to other Château wine edition.
