Franck trusts his instincts rather than hiring an oenologist, managing low yields on south-facing hillsides where low rainfall helps the grapes ripen evenly. That extra elevation adds a crisp, energetic lift that makes this serious value for Bordeaux.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Merlot-forward blend opens with redcurrants, blackberries, and soft floral notes. Half of the wine ages in stainless steel tanks and half in older barrels, keeping the oak back while a low-sulphur approach lets a refreshing saline character from the limestone shine through. Grab a bottle to open alongside duck confit, slow-cooked beef, or a good cheese board.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Cru Godard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57291519000956,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8980\/8095\/files\/Chateau_Cru_Godard_Front.png?v=1787421707","url":"https:\/\/prostwines.com\/products\/chateau-cru-godard-francs-cotes-de-bordeaux","provider":"Prost Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
