2022 Les Barricailleurs

 

 Vinatis, where I bought this wine, has 20/20 rating for it. I wouldn't go that far, but it's a great Bordeaux! Strong black currant in the nose. Complex taste, black currant, spices, a bit of tannins. Great balance. It was a pleasure to drink it, will definitely buy more.

Was great with ham and mushrooms pizza.

2022 Guintrandy

 Could be a nice Côtes du Rhône. But, again, too much sugar. I don't know what's happening in Provence right now, but there are a lot of Rhône table wines, which are sweet. Table wine should not be sweet.

If not for sugar, it would be a decent wine. Good bouquet, strong chokeberry in taste, a bit spicy. But sugar spoiled everything.

Was OK with grilled beef liver. I don't know which other food can go with it.

2018 Château Chauvelet

 

 Very good Bordeaux. Powerful black currant in the nose and taste, spicy, almost no sugar. Will buy again.

Enjoyed it with smoked salmon pizza.

2020 Château Terre Blanque

 

 Very good Bordeaux. Surprisingly good. It's 100% Merlot. To me, Merlot wines are smooth and mellow. This one is different, real Bordeaux. Powerful mix of sour cherry and black currant in the nose and taste, great aftertaste, good response to aerator. Will buy again.

Was great with grilled tuna.

2022 Château Lamothe Vincent

 Could be a very good Bordeaux. But too much sugar. It has wonderful bouquet, but taste... I don't want sweet table wine. Sweet wines are for dessert. Will not buy again.

Was drinkable with grilled tuna.
