2019 Château Pillebart, Bordeaux
Petit château Bordeaux (i.e. not from the expensive Cru Classé properties) offers a wealth of luscious ripe fruit, coupled with elegance. They make a perfect partnership with food and some, like this, are also silky enough to enjoy solo. The wine is from a small property owned by second-generation Laurent Chenard. His parents grew cereal crops with a few vines, but when he took over in 1999, he transformed it into a wine estate, with 7 hectares of vineyard. He is situated in the Entre-Deux-Mers, where Merlot is the king of grapes. In 2019, it ripened to perfection, so that the wine offers generous velvety plum and damson fruit, with rounded tannins and freshness.
13.5% ABV. About £22 a bottle. Drink by end of 2026

2020 L'Epiphanie de Margaux, Margaux AOC
Not able to name this top Margaux estate that's behind this red. The confidentiality clause is so strict that the wine was even bottled away from the château. (It’s why you won’t see Grand Cru on the label.) What is promised is that this is an exceptional wine from one of the most-prized estates in this prestigious appellation. While this is definitely not their Grand Vin (you'd have to pay £600 for that), it is made from the same grapes, by the same team, with the same lavish no-expense-spared expertise. All classic ripe black fruit character, alongside cherry and plum, infused with subtle spice, cedar and tobacco. Open early and decant, but for the best results cellar for a few years.
Tasting notes:
Black fruits, cherry and plum; subtle spice, cedar and tobacco
Aroma:
Complex ripe black fruit character; toasty oak, tobacco spice
14.5% ABV £28 a bottle, Drink before April 2035.
