A wine of finesse

This highlysophisticated effort seems quite supple as the firm tannins are hidden by the abundant sap but make no mistake

this wine did not turn out as I had hoped

Neither the 1995 nor 1996 performed as well as they had in the past

Guillot Clauzel other_regions A wine of finesseA blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Guillot Clauzel has turned out beautifully. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, plums and licorice, it's medium to full bodied, elegantly layered and fleshy, with a vibrant core of fruit, polished tannins and a penetrating finish. As readers will remember, this 2. 5 hectare estate has been managed by Vieux Chteau Certan's Guillaume Thienpont since 2018.
