Wine gift “Taste the Bordeaux!” – three Bordeaux gems in a wooden box

Discover the versatility of Bordeaux with the “Taste the Bordeaux!” Wine Gift. This stylish gift contains three carefully selected wines that together showcase the broad character of this famous French wine region. From crisp white to soft red and a refined sweet finish – packaged in an elegant wooden box, ready to pour or give as a gift. Each one a masterpiece.

Contents of the Taste the Bordeaux gift package:

• Clos des Lunes – Lune d’Argent
  Een droge, frisse witte Bordeaux met aroma’s van citrus, witte bloemen en rijpe perzik. Gemaakt van Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, originating from the Sauternes area. The wine is lively, lightly spicy, and has a clean finish. Perfect with fish dishes, shellfish, or light salads.
• Tempo d’Angélus – Bordeaux
  A smooth red wine from the team behind the famous Château Angélus. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc provides juicy red fruit, soft tannins, and a subtle hint of oak. An elegant Bordeaux that is immediately drinkable and pairs wonderfully with poultry, pasta, or veal dishes.
• Château Violet – Sauternes
  A classic dessert wine from Sauternes with rich aromas of honey, apricot, and vanilla. The taste is full and round, with a beautiful balance between sweet and fresh. Ideal with fruit desserts or blue cheese such as Roquefort.

Food and wine pairings

The beauty of this gift is that it contains three wines that complement each other perfectly — from appetizer to dessert. Below, you will find suggestions per bottle as well as a number of pairings you can try together.

Starters or light courses – Clos des Lunes Lune d’Argent (white)

This dry white Bordeaux is ideal when you start dinner with something lighter. Think of grilled scallops with beurre blanc, a fresh salad with goat cheese and walnuts, or vitello tonnato. The fresh acidity in the wine ensures that your dish remains lively and does not become heavier than necessary. It also pairs well with sushi or sashimi, which have some citrus notes.

Main course – Tempo d’Angélus Bordeaux (red)

With this smooth, fruit-driven red wine, you are right in the middle of the dinner. The wine combines juicy red fruit (cherry, raspberry) with soft tannins and elegant spiciness. According to the product information: it pairs well with grilled sirloin, roast leg of lamb, creamy strong cheeses, game or duck, savory stews, and mushroom pastas.

Example combinations:

• Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic: the wine supports the fat and tender meat and cuts through the spiciness.
• Pasta with mushrooms, Parmesan, and a drizzle of oil: the umami of the mushrooms pairs beautifully with the earthy notes of the wine.
• Beef or game stew: the structure and acidity of the wine ensure that the dish does not “spin”.

Dessert or finale – Château Violet Sauternes (sweet white)

To finish, you will receive this classic Sauternes wine, rich and full with aromas of honey, apricot, vanilla, and acacia.
Because it provides such a spectacular finish, it is ideal with desserts or as a dessert on its own.

Dietary advice:

• Citrus crème brûlée: the sweetness and fresh acidity in the wine provide the perfect balance.
• Dishes with foie gras or pâté: the richness of the wine matches the fatty texture of the liver.
• Blue cheese such as Roquefort or Stilton: the sweet undertone cuts perfectly through the salt and sharp taste of the cheese.
• Also consider a platter with dried fruit, nuts, and pecans, possibly combined with a soft cheesecake or a dessert with peach or apricot.

Combination idea for a three-course menu

Start with the Lune d’Argent: for example, scallops or salad.
Continue with Tempo d’Angélus: for example, leg of lamb or an autumnal pasta dish.
Finish with Château Violet: a cheese dessert or something sweet, and let the wine do the talking.
