Pessac Leognan - Chateau De France Rouge 2021

92 pts, Decanter. "Fully aromatic on the nose, perfume and ripe fruits, so appealing, really jumping out of the glass. Succulent with clarity and precision - the fruit and overall texture feels clean and tongue-scraping, with the stone and graphite elements coming through and lifting the palate away from the fruit flavours. This has real tension and focus as well as weight on the mid-palate from the plush fruit, but it's the cooling, terroir elements to the fore right now with integrated tannins and barely-there spicing. Lovely structure and persistence. Delicious. Michel Rolland consultancy." Drink 2025 - 2039
