Bordeaux’s prestigious Médoc is renowned for producing some of the region’s finest reds. Château Vieux Gadet is a red wine crafted at an a third-generation family estate under the careful guidance of winemaker Thierry Trento. Awarded the rare title of ‘Artisan Cru’, reserved only for the smallest, hands-on châteaux, Vieux Gadet is a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend of depth and elegance. Rich layers of ripe red fruit, warm spices and toasty notes unfold across smooth, silky tannins. It’s approachable now, yet structured enough to age beautifully. Pair alongside game, beef, lamb or aged cheeses – this is a true Médoc classic.
