Flavor Profile
This is boutique Bordeaux at its best…
The Bourlon family have been sharing their wines with us for decades. You get exclusive access to this barrel-aged 2019 release, which arrives with 90 points from critic James Suckling and a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal.
Tucked away in the sought-after Saint-Émilion satellite village of Puisseguin, the Bourlon family’s estates are hailed as “top châteaux” in the region by wine writing legend, Hugh Johnson. And that world-class quality has really soared in recent years, thanks to the Bourlon family’s collaboration with renowned consultant Michel Rolland.
Here’s our man in Bordeaux, Jean-Marc Sauboua, on what you can expect in your glass: “2019 is another fantastic year for Bordeaux—the wines from this vintage are in perfect, harmonious balance. The Bourlon’s 2019 effort has so much energy, with bright, red-fruit driven flavors and wonderfully velvety tannins. Enjoy it now or put it down for a few years—it has good potential for aging.”
