This Castillion Chateau was acquired by the late Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet roughly 15 years ago. Just as promised it delivers excellent value. Damp earth, currants, plums, black truffle and some green notes. Very solid. Would buy again. 2019 is the last vintage Monsieur Darantou harvested. — a year ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, earth, vegetables and herbs.
Medium finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old from the great 2016 vintage is still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity.
Needed 3 hours in the decanter to open up.

100% Merlot grapes.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Seriously good stuff here. Soo deep and complex. Rocky firm tannins but with a velvety touch all the way thru.
Absolutely beautiful aftertaste where all the feminine touch of Pomerol turns out superbly. Very, very good wine.
