The 2020 Grand Marchand Réserve Cabernet Sauvignon is an atypical, value-driven Bordeaux Rouge prized for being a 100% monovarietal Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a rare find in a region dominated by Merlot-heavy blends. Produced by Les Vignerons Réunis de Monségur, this wine is highly regarded for its balance of fruit intensity and French oak structure.
