Château Ramafort Cru Bourgeois Médoc Bordeaux 2015

In Stock

Château Ramafort 2015 has arrived and is our new star claret and a worthy successor to the 2010 vintage of which we have sold over 3,000 cases over the last few years. We tasted all the in-between vintages – 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 alongside the 2015 and the 2015 stood out by some way and was the closest in terms of style and taste to the 2010.

Will the 2015 be as good as the 2010 which currently has five years more bottle age? My view on tasting is was that it is as good now – and may well be better as it matures. 2015 was another great vintage with the better wines like Ramafort being ripe and forward and drinking really well already.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (3)

Intense bright dark red with a sophisticated and fine nose of restrained ripe fruit. A glorious mouth fill of ripe almost stewed red fruit with hints of spice, leather and tobacco. Lots of complex flavours here supported by strong silky tannins and a mineral underbelly. The finish lasts and lasts. It will of course improve with age. Drinking window: 2022 to 2030+ . A fine claret.

Easy to understand why this wine is such a popular choice.

Malcolm - April 2021

A classic Medoc with a deep colour yet smooth and velvety finish. I bought a case of having tried a couple of bottles. Great value for 2010 claret - would definitely recommend.

Following one of Esme's recommendations I tried some of this wine. It was a great choice - a delicious choice in fact. I can highly recommend you give it a try. You certainly won't be disappointed!

David Huxham - May 2020

"A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for this Cru Bourgeois. I tasted the 2010 just last year (91-points) and though this has some time to go, it already appears to be an even better effort. There's an absolutely classic fragrance of cedar and pencil-shavings over savoury black fruits, touched with leafiness, game and subtle spices. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and beautifully pitched between that savoury, complex character of tobacco and leather, and a fresher fruit quality. Keen acidity gives excellent balance. Classic all the way, and surely has years of further cellaring potential. "

Tom Cannavan, Wine-pages.com

"Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Ramafort has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and light cocoa scents, nicely defined with a light iodine scent coming through. The palate is medium bodied with supple and fine tannins, a pinch of spice and a harmonious, satisfying finish that beckons you back for another sip. Simply the best wine I have tasted from Ramafort thus far... "

Neal Martin, robertparker.com

"Well-formed, generous, opulent fruit. Excellent oak spice on the palate with attractive burnt meat notes on the length. Has everything you could want from 2015 Bordeaux - clarity, balance, length, ripeness. "
