In Reply to: RE: That's California's rule... posted by mkuller on December 19, 2014 at 15:16:57
Just messing with you.
But it doesn't rule anywhere else.
Blending is an art. California used to make 100% varietals on most everything.
Made for a lot of boring wines, for the most part.
Follow Ups:
...we have to use some guidelines in the tasting group or meritage would be competing with cabernets.
25% something else is still blending.
"Wine Type
Mandatory. A wine may be labeled by a grape or varietal name such as Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon, or it may be given a generic name such as “Red Table Wine.” Wines using varietal names must derive at least 75% of their volume from the grape designated, and the varietal name must appear on the label with an appellation of origin. Although not required, many wineries voluntarily list the proportions of the grape varieties that comprise their wine blends."
I'm well aware of the California rules. I was questioning where you got the same rules for France.
...so how much merlot is in the Chateau Taillefer?
don't know
...2011 is 95% merlot, 5% cab franc.
Other vintages (2009) were as low as 75 merlot.
So it was a good representation of a French merlot.
