2020 Chateau Reynon, Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux

Château Reynon is located in Béguey, near Cadillac, on a hillside on the right bank of the Garonne, facing south. Part of the vineyard also occupies, in the neighbouring town of Laroque, magnificent slopes facing the South-East and the ancient limestone terrace of a small tributary of the Garonne, the Œuille.  Why do we like it? Late Professor Denis Dubourdieu's home estate has produced yet another outstanding effort. A humble Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux, this wine shows a class and refinement well above its humble appellation. Lots of wood notes and ambition. The palate is packed with sweet dark fruits, crème de mûre, mulberry and spice. There is real lift and concentration; long and serious; this should be excellent in years to come.
