Ques't Qu Ce'st Le Vin Rouge? (I don't speak French)

Having arrived to VinExpo 2018 in the Javits Center I heard French all around. Non - je ne parle par Francais - je suis tre Americain. 

However, I love love love rugged, yet obstuse French culture. Low and behold, the Mexican singer Natalia Lafourcade...

 She is known for such whimsical music; similarly, the name Lafourcade is well known in Bordeaux. In walks Cabernet Sauvignon. 

The ubiquitous grape of France must be Merot, avec, Le Merlot. But in this case, we have a candid expression of the morose, brackish, and seductively blackberryish Cabernet Sauvignon in the form of a cotes de Bordeaux chateau: Chateau Lafourcade.

This wine is purveyed by Monsieur Touton selections and I believe is a 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% merlot blend. Medium bodied and a healthy vintage, the 2015 bodes well as a unique vin rouge in Bordeaux.
