Château Greysac, a consistently value-packed wine, is one of the most widely available Bordeaux in the U.S. marketplace. The 2009 is particularly successful because the fleshy ripe fruitiness and power of the vintage marries nicely with the savory, slightly bitter notes characteristic of wine from the Médoc. In short, it’s a terrific choice tonight for steak frites. But don’t think this wine is a flash in the pan. Greysac from great vintages, like 2009, develops gorgeously—I’ve just had a 1982 Greysac, (another great vintage) from my cellar and it’s a winner.
