Vintage red and white wines included in Bordeaux collection
Denver-based PL360 Beverage Partners imported a new line of wines inspired by the PBS series “Downton Abbey” into the United States. Launching Nov. 1, New York-based Wines That Rock's Downton Abbey Wine Collection features two blends from the Bordeaux region of France: a Blanc white wine and a Claret red wine.
In creating this collection, Downton Abbey Wines looked to Grands Vins de Bordeaux, a family-owned winery with more than 130 years of wine-making experience in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux, France. Wine-maker Jean-Marc Dulong enlisted time-honored wine-making practices as well as modern techniques to create a collection of finely balanced wines. Downton Abbey Blanc is a light and crisp white blend, while Downton Abbey Claret is a medium-bodied red wine with bright fruit and a silky finish, he said.
