Perfumed and nicely fragrant on the nose, quite floral from the Cabernet Franc with blackcurrants and black cherries. Supple and succulent, crisp with bite, this is lean and straight, not tense so much as there’s energy, but still quite direct and focussed with taut and firm tannins that give the frame. I like the cool blue fruit touches and the wet stone nuances that linger on the tongue. Feels clean and nicely balanced, more intense with less acidity at the fore, giving this some seriousness but it remains stylish and so appealing. Easy to drink and enjoy with Pauillac typicality, power and control. A clear success.. | Decanter | 2023 | 93

Château Haut-Bages Monpelou, Cru Bourgeois, uit de stal van Borie-Manoux. Wordt onderhouden en geproduceerd door de makers van Château Batailly. Altijd heerlijke ouderwetse fruitige, sappige en “straight forward” Bordeaux. Echte Cru Bourgeois kwaliteit en goede waar voor het geld.
