Rated 91 by James Suckling
A linear and rather tight red with some berry, crushed-stone and bark character. Medium body, firm tannins and a slightly austere finish. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon. Give it two or three years to soften.

88-90 Composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Chantegrive has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of stewed black and red plums, black raspberries and damp soil, plus hints of tapenade and black truffles with a waft of bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing, delivering a good amount of crunchy red and black fruits and a soft texture, finishing with an herbal lift.

Rated 90 by Vinous Media
The 2020 Chantegrive is a powerful, driving wine. I very much like the energy here, along with the savory/earthy profile. Ultimately, though, the 2020 feels a bit narrow in its construction. There's just enough mid-palate depth and fruit here. A burst of red fruit mixed with sweet floral accents brightens up the finish to make this quite complete. Even so, my impression is that there is greater potential to tap. Tasted two times.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

Bordeaux red wines are widely regarded as being the finest red wines produced anywhere in the world, regularly topping awards lists and generally being amongst the most sought after and collectable bottles available. The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.
