The Chateau Cambon La Pelouse Rouge 2012 is a lovely Merlot marked by red and black fruits that linger in the palate. This wine won the bronze in the 2014 Concours des Grands Vins de France Macon, one of France's longest-established and prestigious wine competitions.

For a more complex taste, a bottle of Chateau Tauzinat L'Hermitage 2010 has a good amount of herbs, red currant, plum, eucalyptus and tobacco spice. It is a recipient of a silver medal in the International Wine Challenge in 2013.

Another complex wine is the Chateau La Tour De Bessan 2011. Dubbed by the prestigious magazine The Wine Advocate, as having one of the best bouquets, this red wine boasts of red cherry and raspberry with forest floor and cigar box scents.

Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate said, “It has good presence and persistency towards the finish. This eclipses my expectations. Excellent.”
