Chateau Les Grands Marechaux, Cotes De Bordeaux Blaye, France 2019

Wine Advocate 90 The deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Les Grands Marechaux is scented of prunes, blackberry preserves and baked black cherries with suggestions of menthol, spice cake and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is well-poised with plenty of freshness and a soft texture supporting the black fruit preserves flavors, finishing spicy. James Suckling 93 A juicy, flavorful red with plums, berries and hints of chocolate. It’s full-bodied and round-tannined. Plenty of fruit and intensity. About the Producer Strict vineyard management under the advice of consultant winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt helps bring out this Merlot based wine’s rich mulberry, plum, cedar and incense character. Rounded, dark fruit and fig hints with a touch of chocolate Superb and affordable.
