What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Jancis
Robinson

Rating: 16/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson A great success for this wine from the Angélus de Boüard de Laforests made with meticulously sorted 80 per cent Merlot and 20 per cent Cabernet Franc. Amazingly deep crimson colour with great sweetness and roundness on the palate that gives enormous pleasure because it is counterbalanced by the just the right amount of fresh acidity (and no suggestion of under-ripeness). Surely one of the bargains of the vintage.
