Château Canet, La Chapelle Minervois 2020
Château Canet's Minervois La Chapelle is rich and full-bodied yet lifted, with old-vine Grenache delivering generous, fleshy fruit, fine ripe tannins, and a bright mix of berry and violet on the finish. It’s already drinking beautifully, but a subtle leathery note hints at what a few more years in bottle will bring. La Chapelle takes its name from the 12th-century chapel that once stood in this vineyard, now home to the estate’s oldest Grenache vines. With yields as low as 20hl/ha, the parcel was nearly pulled up in 2009, but Floris and Victoria chose to preserve it - a decision that’s clearly paid off.
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou 2020
The 2020 Le Petit Ducru is a classy claret with real depth and charm, full of dark berry fruit, well-balanced acidity and suave tannins. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (with a touch of Petit Verdot in some vintages), it’s aged for 12 months in oak (one-third new), and made with the same rigorous attention to detail as the estate’s grands vins. This is the newest member of the Ducru-Beaucaillou family — a beautifully crafted introduction to the estate's signature style. Sourced from Ducru-Beaucaillou’s vineyards in Saint-Julien, the 2020 it offers a glimpse into the elegance, structure, and elan that define its elder siblings, Ducru-Beaucaillou and La Croix. In short, it’s a seriously good bottle for fans of classic Bordeaux — with all the hallmarks of Ducru, just in a more accessible and earlier-drinking package.
