Château Branaire-Ducru 2020
Château Branaire-Ducru has delivered something extraordinary with their 2020. This Saint-Julien fourth growth has crafted a wine that even seasoned critics are calling unlike anything they've tasted from the estate before. The blend showcases the château's ability to harness the intensity of this remarkable vintage while maintaining the elegance that defines great Saint-Julien. We find ourselves with a wine of tremendous depth and dimension, built around inky dark fruit, chocolate, and new leather that builds to what can only be described as an explosive finish.
Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rouge 2020
Mas de Daumas Gassac produces what we think of as the Languedoc's answer to Left Bank Bordeaux. This estate pioneered the idea that southern France could craft serious reds in the 1970s, long before the region found its modern voice. The 2020 Rouge leads with Cabernet Sauvignon but includes judicious amounts of four other Bordeaux varieties, creating something that feels both familiar and distinctly Languedocian. We find this vintage particularly smooth and elegant, with cassis and black cherry fruit wrapped in subtle herbal notes and the faintest touch of cedar. A wine that proved the Languedoc could play in the premier league.
