cru bourgeois

i've never had a bottle of wine classified as a cru bourgeois.  apparently, its existence (officially) was only from 2003-2007, and now again in 2010.  (wikipedia)  2005 was supposedly a good year for bordeaux, so i bought a bottle of chateau de gironville, from the haut-medoc region.  it was a mix of 3 grapes-- cab (~47%), merlot (~43%), and petit syrah (~10%).  aged 14 months in the cask.  percentages are from my memory, and may be incorrect.  very bordeaux profile.  a bit tannic, could definitely wait for a few more months.  for my money, i prefer last week's mercurey.
