Chateau Les Gravieres de la Brandille, Bordeaux Superieur, 2020
Frédéric Borderie's principal wine, 65% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, as ever a superb generic unoaked Bordeaux. He chose to adopt his grandfather’s marvellous traditional black, red and gold label – on which you can count no less than eight different fonts! An expressive red that should be a staple of all wine racks. A blend of red and dark fruit, with freshness and fine boned tannin. Merlot dominated, this shows real smoothness and charm but also...

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.Rich and velvety. Deeply hued and opaque. Black fruit:blackberries and black cherries,...
