Mickael Moze-Berthon: Rocher-Gardat, Vieux Chantecaille and Gouprie, Bordeaux, France
Mickael Moze-Berthon makes wonderful wines, densely fruited and well-oaked, from no less than four estates, assembled over seven generations of family growers. His principal wine, is his Rocher-Gardat Montagne Saint-Emilion, from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc grown on his seven hectares of vines on thinly-soiled, argilo-calcaire slopes. We sold many cases of his splendid 2010 and 2012...

Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Francis a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A cross of it with Sauvignon Blanc resulted in Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Many of the red wines of the Loire are primarily Cabernet Franc.

Vieux Chantecaille, Saint-Emilion 2020
80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, into 50% new oak. Mickael Moze-Berthon has only 1¼ hectares of land within the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru boundary, just across the road from the famed Pomerol property of Le Bon Pasteur, but as his cellar is outside the limits of the St Emilion Grand Cru appellation he can only sell it as Saint-Emilion – so he is delivering wine from a Grand Cru terroir at a modest price.
"Cool tree-bark and liquorice-chocolate scents. Slim, old-brushed-velvet smoking-jacket tannins. Slim, green-sinewed but ripe and juice-tight blackcurrant fruit. Classic, elegant, agile. Minty fresh finish. Roast-lamb wine! An extraordinarily classy, good-value St-Émilion. VGV" 16.5/20, 2024-2030, Tamlyn Currin, www.jancisrobinson.com, 1st December 2023
Clearly the same house style as the Montagne Saint-Emilion above, but distinctly richer and more velvety. Deeply hued and opaque. Black fruit: blackberries and black cherries, accented with dark chocolate. Intense and harmonious, with pleasing flesh. Very long. Decant vigorously (or double
decant, into a jug and back in the bottle) to show this at its youthful best now. Now-2030
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
