Chateau Ballue-Mondon Bordeaux, 2015 Cavalchina - San Francisco ChronicleThere are two different kinds of Bordeaux everyday, comfy slipper Bordeaux, and then fancy stilettos reserved for special occasions. This Ballue Mondon is a remarkable value of the "comfy slipper" variety, priced to drink freely. It's soft, balanced not showy but solidly constructed. Candied red fruit and black fruit with an ample, fleshy palate with still a nice tannic structure. 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. Sustainable
