Primeur
Château La Cabanne
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2024
My first 2024 "primeur" tasting. The vintage was already much maligned during the harvest, but if this is an indication, we might be in for some seriously good surprises. — 7 months ago

Château Montrose
La Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2020
2020 vintage. A blend of 49% Merlot,44% Cabernet Sauvignon,4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. I tasted this at the estate during the primeur campaign, and it certainly does not disappoint in 2025. A good introduction to the incredible grand vin, La Dame is more Merlot dominated, and more approachable in its youth. Very refined and elegant, with impeccable purity of fruit, a silky mouthfeel, fresh balancing acidity, and a long finish. It's very hard to resist now, but it should age gracefully. Abv. 13,5%. — 7 months ago
Château Pavie Macquin
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2018
Couldn't resist opening up a bottle, first of 6 bought en primeur. It was my first en primeur programme that I bought into at the time, and this is the first bottle out of my cellar out of all my bdx that I have bought since at en primeur.
This is already drinking very well. Lots of cassis, sweet purple fruit and spices. Good acidity and freshness. — 7 months ago

Of all the #beaujolaisnouveau that I’ve had this one seems really well made and cellar worthy. This was bottled 12 months ago and is drinking like a Boss! Fruity, juicy and soft. — 4 days ago
