2020 Chateau Charmail Haut-Medoc
£20.00
Cru bourgeois exceptionnel. 36% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 16% Petit Verdot, on clayey gravels. Yield 40 hl/ha. 85% is aged for 12 months in barrels (55% new wood) and 15% in concrete eggs.
“Smells very neat and ‘just so’. Really ripe but fresh with lively, appetising fruit. No excess tannin but some structure. Leaves the palate very much refreshed.”
A return to form from this well-sited property, located just north of St-Estèphe. The 2020 displays classic left bank savoury notes of cedar and bramble, with some attractive gravelly tannins on the finish. A blend of one-third each cabernet sauvignon and merlot, with the balance split equally between petit verdot and cabernet franc
