The 2022 vintage produced some "unbelievable wines" (Decanter).
Enjoy three luxury examples here: the silky Château Moulin du Prieur 2022 from the fine estate of Ludovic Roussillon of Château Le Coin fame (with Gold), the lovely Merlot-rich Château Gadras 2022 (with THREE Golds), and the stunning Château Le Bonalguet 2022 – a TRIPLE & Grand Gold-winner that has previously been rated a “near-perfect wine” by Fabrice Sommier, a former Best Sommelier of France. Then, indulge in the layered and textured Reboul Salze 2021 (made by Stéphane Derenoncourt of Canon La Gaffelière and Pavie Macquin fame), and two superb 2020s. Château Roquegrave 2020 is a magnificent Médoc Cru Bourgeois, velvety and lush; Château Haut Pougnan 2020 is a power-packed Bordeaux Supérieur from Entre-Deux-Mers with SEVEN Golds. This is a truly dazzling collection!
Le Bonalguet is brimful of rich fruit and Saint-Emilion-like finesse. It's from 2022, described by critic Lisa Perrotti-Brown as "a classic, great Bordeaux vintage". With all its luscious, velvety fruit, this Gold-medal winner is a stunner.
This gorgeous, velvety claret is the result of a long friendship. Christophe blended a cuvée from each of his exceptional Blaye estates to create a wine so good he lent it his name.
Moulin du Prieur is from Ludovic Roussillon, the winemaker behind the generous ripe fruit and velvety tannins of Château Le Coin. Here you’ll find the same appealing style. Generous creamy plum and spice notes.
Château Haut Pougnan has a long history of awards – seven Golds just last year. 150 years of experience and well-placed vineyards just over the river from the Right Bank stars, plus an exceptional vintage in 2020, have raised this rich-fruit claret.
Bordeaux today produces deliciously approachable, fruit-forward wines that are really good value. Even better in the appealing ripe vintage of 2022. This wine is Merlot based, from a small family estate. Enjoy lots of silky, ripe red fruits.
