CHATEAU GRANDES MURAILLES 2020

100% Merlot

This tiny vineyard of less than five acres in the shadow of the ancient arched walls of Saint-Emilion is planted entirely with Merlot. The wine is juicy, ripe, packed with black currant flavors backed up by tannins. Its texture is rounded, velvet with just a bite of tannins. Drink from 2026. ROGER VOSS

RATING93

Supple, and vibrant with layers of sweet, ripe, black plums, chocolate, licorice and smoke. Texturally, this is pure silk with a bit of chalk that is perfect for showing off all of its flawlessly ripe black cherries and plums with their licorice and chocolate accents. Priced from 100% old vine Merlot, this is going to be delicious on release, and it will be even better with age. Drink from 2023-2040.94

Deep in color, the wine hits you up with its bouquet of flowers, licorice, crushed rocks, red and black plums, smoke, and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is silky, refined, supple and fresh. The finish leaves you with dark cocoa-dusted plums, thyme and creme de cassis. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot and is aged in 50% new, French oak barrels. 92-94
