"GOLD-MEDAL Concours de Vin 2020
Pale ruby with lovely crunchy fruit on the nose. This is a beautifully refreshing clean wine with super length. A Lovely blend of Bordeaux traditional varieties each adding their unique identity. 50% Merlot for the fleshiness, 25% Cabernet Franc adds spice, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon gives backbone and 5% Petit Verdot for colour and perfume. An unoaked wine with delicious ripe tannins that is already drinking beautifully. Wonderful value, Aidan Bell "
Located north of Entre-Deux-Mers near Castillon-La-Bataille and Saint-Émilion, Château La Petite Borie, owned by the Yonnet family, has 76-hectares of vineyard in the town of Mouliets-et-Villemartin at an ancient crossing point on the Dordogne.
The 2019 vintage in Bordeaux is being heralded as the middle in a trio of outstanding years for the region 2018/2019/2020. The 2019s whilst still young have exceptional natural balance and already offer lovely drinking at this entry level category of Bordeaux.
