HAUT-MÉDOC MADNESS!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs there a thesaurus in this French castle? Heck yeah…“Capacious” wrote the judges at the Decanter World Wine Awards. “Oozing substance and charisma.” They’re clearly crushing on this bonafide charmer of a Bordeaux blend hailing from the gravelly soils of Château Meyre. “Capacious blackcurrant, blueberry and dark cherry fruit cradled in a coffee, cacao richness which fortifies the weighty structure and strident tannins.” I. Can. Confirm and affirm!! Amplitude and perspicacity...the SAT words are all true, this is NINETY FIVE POINTS’ worth of left bank Haut-Médoc bliss…for a measly $19. Say WHAT?? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeriously voluminous LASHINGS of cherries and plums and jammy berries arrive in supple, thick, satiny waves…intelligently focused with this mineral edge, like you’re sharpening a graphite #2 pencil right next to a perfect little porcelain cup of espresso. This is 44% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, certified organically farmed in 2022 – a year that’s already getting major kudos for its full-on ripeness with remarkable freshness and balance. And this estate-grown gem is very much no exception. So…NINETEEN DOLLARS?!?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCedar and tobacco leaf and dried violets waft around all those bodaciously indulgent berries I mentioned, adding the old-world complexity that makes Médoc wines so endlessly alluring. There’s another serving of coffee on the finish, cascading over crystalline blackcurrants and fine tannins. “Out to please. Lovely” Decanter said in their monthly magazine, where they rated this 92. We ARE pleased, we are. Feeling like this wine loves me with the sincere generosity of my golden retriever. Oh and this savory aspect to the finish has me planning my next bottle with a plate of duck confit or a proper slab of dry-aged entrecôte…too bad I won’t be having it in Château Meyre’s elegant nine bedroom castle–hotel. Anyhow, whether you open one asap or tuck it away for another five-plus years, Château Meyre will deliver the goods. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeyre is a family-owned estate in Avensan, and the property’s origins are in the 1600s. Their 12 hectares span both the Haut-Médoc and Margaux appellations. They were designated a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 2020, but remain fairly under the radar, which y’all really benefit from when it comes to price. $19 for a 95 pointer that was already a steal at $40 retail?? Pencils DOWN, done deal, this is the denouement of your hunt for a great value Bordeaux…get as many of these as you POSSIBLY can.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Bottle Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54298090799388,"sku":"1013690","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/5091\/4844\/files\/ChateauMeyreRougeHaut-Medoc2022_1013690_LB_BottleShot.jpg?v=1791909791","url":"https:\/\/lastbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-meyre-rouge-haut-medoc-2022","provider":"Last Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
