Chateau Fredginac La Favorite 2014
£13.49
Château Frédignac wines are produced by the L’Amouller family. EARL Vignobles L’Amouller is one of the first members of the Environment Management System group of Bordeaux wines and they are certified to ISO 14001. They have been farming organically since 2010 and their wines are certified Vin Biologique and Agriculture Biologique. I discovered them after researching organic producers in the Blaye region and they are one of a limited number of producers that have chosen to go organic; and with excellent results.
The Merlot in this wine gives it a certain softness while the Cabernet Sauvignon aids the structure and aging with its tanins. The addition of Cabernet Franc brings finesse to the ageing of the wine with its aromas of fruit and spice.
La Favorite is Chateau Fredignac’s prestige wine derived from its vielles vignes (older vines) and finished in oak casks. It is a tribute to Jean-Marie L’Amouller the founder of the vineyard (see our partner page for the history). Launched in 2012 it has regularly received good scores from various critics and this particular vintage was noted in Guide Hachette. Revue Decanter gave it a score of 89/100. It is an excellent, value-for-money, organic wine to grace your table when entertaining or just for yourself!

Jack Standen –
Bought the collection of these wines and found them to be as good as described. La Favorite is a really fruity wine with great depth and its organic. Although it came into it own with the cheese course for me, I found it pleasant to drink as an aperitif as well. Highly recommended.
David Dwyer –
This is a smooth fruity red wine. The richness and unique flavours produced by the mix of grapes makes it stand up as a wine to drink on its own. To be recommended.
