A PLEASANT BLANDNESS OF BLENDS

We picked up these two wines from Aldi in Mortain, Normandy.
They are from two different Appellations and there's a 0.3 Euro price difference. And they are the ONLY differences.
Both are 2015 blends of Merlot and Cabernet weighing in at 12.5% a/v. Both are perfectly pleasant innocuous red wines and are bargains for what's on offer. They're just not very exciting.


Chateau du Puch 2015 Bordeaux AOP   2.99 Euro

Chateau Touraille 2015 Bergerac AOC   3.29 Euro

3.5 rating from me [they get that extra 0.5 for value - and they will appeal if you want a red without any grunt]
