A full-bodied and smooth Bordeaux Superieur with some age-ability, we review the Chateau Pascaud Bordeaux Superieur from Vignobles Jalousie Beaulieu.
100% Merlot from 30-year-old vines in Galgon in the Gironde department of the Bordeaux wine region of France. The wine was fermented in stainless steel for 25 days and then aged 12 months in French oak.
Sample submitted for review. The Chateau Pascaud Bordeaux Superieur is available for as low as $14. It is imported by Europvin USA.
From the bottle:
Chateau Pascaud is a fine, single varietal wine produced exclusively from Merlot. The soil on which our grapes ripens is of the clayey-gravel type near the Fronsac terroir. This wine has great aromatic purity; the nose expresses notes of black fruit with blueberry aromas that evolve into spicy. The palate is generous and concentrated with a structure endowed with silky tannins of great elegance. The finish is persistent with aromas of toasted coffee beans and cocoa.

The 2023 Chateau Pascaud Bordeaux Superieur opens with a very attractive aroma full of dark berry fruit (blueberry, blackberry) plus some nice floral notes and baking spice plus a light oaky touch. It’s a good start.
The wine tastes similar when drinking. It’s a bit oaky, spicy and tannic right now, which we enjoyed, but another year or two should harmonize that a bit more. Full bodied, smooth and with nice depth, this is a nice Bordeaux Superieur with some age-ability for just $14!
It ends dry, grippy and long and was a bit smoother and more harmonious on day 2 where it wasn’t quite as oaky.
