Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2018
From the prestigious terroir of Saint-Julien on the left bank of Bordeaux, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot has black-fruit aromas with a full-bodied palate of succulent fruits and spices.
JCP Maltus, Le Dôme 2021
Le Dôme from JCP Maltus represents the pinnacle of Saint-Émilion winemaking, offering luxurious and opulent wines that showcase the unique limestone terroir of the appellation. With 96 points, Jonathan Maltus’ 2021 vintage received Jane Anson’s second highest rating of the vintage (just one point off leaders Figeac and La Mission Haut Brion), equalling Lafite, Lafleur and Cheval Blanc, and ahead of Petrus, Mouton, Margaux, Mouton, Haut Brion and Ausone! All of which are least double the price, some triple the price or more. Another fan, Jeb Dunnuck, writes how “ Gorgeous cassis fruits, notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and chalky minerality, medium to full body, and beautiful tannins all define this beauty ”, whilst Decanter’s Georgina Hindle calls it “ Classy stuff - and one of the wines from 2021 I'd like to own! ”. With its distinctive 80% Cabernet Franc, and the guidance of superstar consultant Thomas Duclos (responsible for the renaissance of fellow Saint Emilion properties Canon, Troplong Mondot and Beaséjour Becot), Le Dôme is on an exciting trajectory.
