James Suckling rates this wine 96 Points and says, “This is extremely perfumed, with violets, lavender, forest fruit and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy, round tannins. It\u2019s delicious already with a lovely balance, showing dark fruit, meat and chocolate with a hint of smoke. Straight and driven, it has a long finish for the vintage.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Cha\u0302teau Fleur Cardinale Saint-E\u0301milion Grand Cru Classe\u0301 2021 \u2013 69% OFF<\/strong><\/span>

\nOwned by the G\u00e9rard Perse family (of Ch\u00e2teau Pavie fame), Monbousquet is known for its plush Merlot-driven style. The 2021 bottling is beautifully balanced, offering lush red fruit, supple tannins, and lingering earthiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cha\u0302teau Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien<\/a> AOC 2021 \u2013 50% OFF<\/strong><\/span>
\nA Second Growth of the 1855 Classification, Gruaud Larose is revered for its age-worthy, aristocratic profile. The 2021 release is layered, savory, and unmistakably Saint-Julien.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decanter rates this wine 95 Points. “Scented nose full of cedar, coffee, chocolate, liquorice, blackcurrant and floral fragrance. Light and lean, but full of flavour, the fruit dances across the palate while the relatively tight but fine tannins give structure. Great acidity and lovely elements of sour cherries, fresh-picked blackcurrants and crushed strawberries with an underlying mineral, slightly salty tang. Delicious.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Why 2021?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the vintage insiders are buying. Cooler, more temperate weather favored winemakers focused on precision and terroir. While volumes were down, quality soared in the hands of top producers \u2013 making these limited allocations even more valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n
