Here’s a terrific, hand-crafted, Bordeaux with big fruit, a velvet mouthfeel, and wide-open personality that invites enjoyment with summer cookouts and more elegant dinners, too. It’s about 85% Merlot plus Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Farmer, winemaker and owner Hervé Lhuillier farms sustainably, leaving grass growing between the rows to reduce yields, manure from his own sheep for fertilizer, and organic sprays as needed. He picks in the cool of the night to preserve freshness, sorts his grapes three times, and then ferments cool in tank and ages this wine in French oak for six months.
The result is a big ole comfy couch of a Bordeaux, loaded with rich black currant and blackberry fruit and showing a plush, supple, mouthfeel balanced by notes of graphite/lead pencil and plenty of sweet barrels spice. The fresh acids and fine tannins keep things refreshing and food-friendly, but the dark, juicy, fruit is really the star of the show here. A fine burger Bordeaux, although it will dress up the table nicely when paired with lamb, roast beef, and pretty much anything with an earthy, mushroomy, twist. Best right now and through 2028.
James Suckling: 90 Points
"Intense aromas of ripe plums and blackberries with hints of tar and toasted oak. Medium-bodied with plush yet creamy tannins and a smooth, velvety mouth-feel. Long finish. 85% merlot, 5% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 5% malbec."
