Coming from clay and limestone soils, the 2023 Château Destieux is based on 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 15 months in 70% new French oak. It has exotic aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, smoked ham, baking spices, and hints of chocolate on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has moderate acidity, a ripe, round, lush mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. Count me in as a fan, and it should have two decades of overall longevity. Drink 2026-2045.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Aromas of mint. oak, black cherries, black currants and blue fruit. Very good depth on the nose and palate, with an almost full body and a lengthy finish. Tannins are fine but remain tense and structured. Drink from 2026.

The 2023 Destieux has a fresh and vibrant nose with blackcurrant, cassis and violet scents that are neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, fresh and lively, with a cohesive and more-ish finish. One of the best Destieux vintages in recent years.

This offers up gently mulled black cherry and black currant fruit flavors infused with perfumy black tea, plus a splash of ganache that gives this a slightly exotic edge. A crowd-pleasing style. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,148 cases made, 300 cases imported.
