First vintage that I have tasted from this estate, purchased in 2006 by Bernard Magrez and renamed from Château le Peyre. Vinified partly in oak barrel, partly in clay amphora, this is polished and finessed but actually more restrained than perhaps I was expecting. A serious wine, with an emphasis on tightly-knitted cassis fruits. An absolutely beautiful whoosh of juicy menthol comes in from mid palate onwards, and a tight tannic crush on the finish that suggests this is going to age well. It's big shouldered, as all Magrez wines are, but this is a welcome addition to the St Estèphe landscape. ... More details

The 2019 Bernard Magrez was impressive from barrel. Since it was bottled in June 2021, the nose has revealed more red fruit, though it’s still quite loamy and maybe a tad more plush than before. The palate is medium-bodied and very pure, with pliant tannins, well-judged acidity and a nicely detailed, silky-smooth finish that lingers. This is about as sensual a Saint-Estèphe wine as you will find in this vintage.

Cloves, berries and dried flowers, such as lilacs on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine and firm tannins that run the length of the wine. Give it time to open, but it shows some finesse and refinement. Best after 2024.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Bernard Magrez (from Saint-Estephe) features pronounced blackberry pie, crushed blackcurrants and redcurrant jelly notes with hints of pencil shavings, chocolate box, Sichuan pepper and cardamom. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played and refreshing with loads of mineral sparks emerging from the lively black fruits and a rugged foundation of chewy tannins, finishing with a peppery kick.

Blackcurrants, new leather, damp earth, and tobacco notes all emerge from the 2019 Château Bernard Magrez. It's a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, still tight and backward 2019 that's going to need bottle age.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

The Bordeaux method of blending quality grape varietals is something which has long been imitated and envied around the world. Whilst there are six Bordeaux grape varietals allowed for the production of red wine in this region of France – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carménere – the most common and widely used combination involves a careful blend of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, usually with a small percentage of Petit Verdot to boost the overall flavor and balance things out. This process accentuates the finer points of all these varietals, and takes the astringency of one type whilst rounding it out and mellowing it with the light tannins and fleshiness of another. The results are rarely short of spectacular, and are perfect for oak aging, where the flavorful magic of Bordeaux wine making can really take place, and the complex aromas and characteristics can truly come forward.
barrel

Region: Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
