Château Haut-Bages Libéral 2021
The 2021 vintage, marked by cooler conditions and a later harvest, gave wines of classic structure and precision. Haut-Bages Libéral reflects this with lifted aromatics of cassis, blackberry, graphite, and violets, alongside a subtle cedar and spice note. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely etched Owned by the Lurton family since the 1980s, Château Haut-Bages Libéral has become a standout in Pauillac for its commitment to sustainable viticulture, including organic and biodynamic farming practices. The estate shares land next to Château Latour and behind Château Pichon Baron, so no wonder it producers impeccable wines, yet at a fraction of the price of the châteaux around them.
Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru 'Les Vasées', Domaine François Raquillet 2021
François Raquillet's 2021 Premier Cru Les Vasées is a great example of why this domaine is getting so much attention. The wine is full of bright red cherry and raspberry fruit, with a touch of spice and a hint of earthiness underneath. The palate is supple and generous but still carries that classic Mercurey structure, giving it both charm and depth.
