Round and creamy, this is gentle and delicate. Lovely purity of flavour with a directness and tension still that drives the wild strawberry, stewed raspberry, eucalyptus and liquorice flavours through to the finish. It feels nicely refined with lovely definition and detail. An easy-drinking and comforting Claret that delivers in terms of flavour and texture. A trusty buy from the Ducourt stable of wines, run by Jonathan Ducourt, one of the largest independent vineyard holdings in the region with 450ha of vines spread out over 14 châteaux in the Entre-deux-Mers and St-Emilion appellations. Blend of 79% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, aged 12 months in stainless steel and oak barrels. A reliable buy from the Ducourt stable: its Château des Demoiselles, Castillon 2015 is also worth seeking out (£16.67 Blanco & Gomez).
