Château de Villegeorge
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2016 vintage. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. The oak seems a bit more toasted compared to the 2015, with the red and black fruit lurking behind initially, give it some time to open up. Juicy, very ripe fruit with a thicker mouthfeel and more power than the 2015. Dark chocolate in the finish. Abv. 13,5%.

Jan 28th, 20252015 vintage. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. This could be mistaken for Cantemerle in a blind tasting (that's a compliment btw). Classic Haut-Médoc with cassis, cedar and licorice. Drinking beautifully now, fresh and juicy. Great value. Abv. 13,5%.

Jan 27th, 20252020 vintage. Equal parts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with 9% of Petit Verdot. Paired it with the same vintage of the best wine of the Haut-Médoc appellation, La Lagune. While it doesn't have the concentration and depth of the latter, Villegeorge stands on its own in a lighter, more forward style, with elegance, freshness and silky tannins. Terrific value. Abv 13,5%.

The wine has lost its fruit and tannan. Not yet maderized but will be soon. You'll need to let air for a fee hours before the acid clears out.

Bu avant les fêtes de Noël 2015 sur du cerf, excellent, rond et fruité pour un bordeaux. Très très agréable à boire. Magnum a 38€ chez Souleau.
