Château de Gironville
Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2018 vintage. One of the estates that was owned by the late Vincent Mulliez ( who died young in 2010) and sold ( together with Belle-Vue and Bolaire) to Treasury in 2021. This 2018 is the first 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine in the history of the estate, and at the time, it was still consulted by Vincent Bache Gabrielsen, who is doing an amazing job at Pédesclaux these days. Cassis, leather, cedar, and a hint of graphite. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit and ripe tannin, balances by mouthwatering acidity. Very good value.

Nice sour berry nose but never really came together, could be past its prime. Meh.

Open this two days ago and it had a metallic flavor, possibly brettanomyces. It's gone today and drinking very nicely.

This is a well-crafted wine. Dark, warm chocolate nose. Blackberry, black currant, licorice extract, cedar, cinnamon, nutmeg, fall spices, slate, and cocoa. But that said, it retains its dignity with a big backbone of acidity, low-alcohol, earth driven notes that straddle the line between wood and compost. A mushroom's dream.🍷
