CHÂTEAU BATAILLEY 5ème Cru Classé Pauillac 2018
Damson and black cherry, creme de cassis and baking spices. A warm vintage and there is a luscious spice-driven character that makes it a little atypical, with creamy vanilla, coriander and baking spices. We are still on the Left Bank here, but a less austere and structured version. A change in the estate's internal winemaker at this point, with the departure of Arnaud Durand and arrival of Benoit Bouchonneau. This is also the vintage where the team introduced 3rd wine Pauillac de Batailley. Axel Marchal and Valerie Lavigne consultants, Philippe Casteja owner.
CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Cuvée de la Reine des Bois Domaine de la Mordorée 2019
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée De La Reine des Bois is a deeper, more masculine wine with gorgeous cassis and blackberry fruits as well as graphite, licorice, crushed stone, violets, and lavender nuances. Rich, full-bodied, and incredibly concentrated, it has a brilliant sense of freshness and purity as well as length on the finish. It's going to require 4-5 years of bottle age, but this straight-up thrilling Châteauneuf du Pape will have 20-25 years of prime drinking.
