Château Duprat 2020

Bordeaux has been blessed in recent years with a run of terrific vintages. Jeb Dunnock recently wrote, "Bordeaux has another terrific vintage on its hands with 2020", while Jancis Robinson MW wrote, "Tasting the 2020s was a real joy." Here, we present a charming petit château Bordeaux from a small estate, close to the Garonne, in the south of the Entre-Deux-Mers. At 100 metres altitude and planted on sand, clay and silt soils, its vines – Merlot, plus Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon – thrive and have produced this most attractive claret. Already appealing, the wine is still young, so it's best opened early and decanted. A fine, well structured and well-balanced red to serve with classic red meat dishes, a rich veggie casserole or cheese.
