WineScores' Review

Classic, statuesque, supple.
Purchased in 1927 by Louis Turtaut this family estate has continued to grow. For many years, Chateau Brondelle has become valued in the appellation, thanks to a complex and varied terroir. Chateau Brondelle is located in the best part of the Southern Graves' stony soils. Aged 12 months in French oak before bottling this 50/50 blend of Cabernet and Merlot offers crushed stone and plums, leather, crushed wild berries, salted licorice, graphite and mixed brown spices. Classically styled, it has a cigar-type character with cherry, licorice, plums and chocolate flavours. It's a statuesque wine with a supple weight and some chew from the tannins. Firm yet fresh, it offers great value from the region.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
