If you’re like us and say the more obscure the better with your wines, then you are really going to appreciate and enjoy the Chateau Bouissel Classic. Produced in the Frontonais region of France’s southwest, an area wedged between Bordeaux to the north and the Basque country and Spain to the south. AOC rules in the Fronton state that all wines produced there must contain a minimum of 50% Negrette, a rare Forgotten Grape with rich, dark, brooding, tannic overtones. The Chateau Bouissel Classic is 50 % Negrette, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, and 10% Cot, which you probably know better as Malbec. Fruity, floral and spicy all at once, this wine pairs well with all types of cuisine and may also be enjoyed by itself, if you like your wines dark and intense. Drink it at room temperature, or even slightly chilled. This is the kind of wine that will stump even the most knowledgeable of your snobby wine friends, so pick up a bottle the next time you’re getting together with that wine know- it-all, and watch him get hot under the collar when he can’t tell you what he’s drinking and just keeps guessing wrong.
