Château de Chantegrive 2019

Red cherries and blackcurrant on the nose. This has such a great richness to it, not heavy but so deep you can just taste the layers and layers of fruit, oak spice and acidity. I like really the presence of this in the mouth, it’s not completely integrated right now, there’s a tiny bit of appealing sweetness but also some rusticity that comes across via dry tannins so it’s not ready to drink, but it will be delicious in time. Precision winemaking on show – laser sharp with such detail! A top buy. Drinking Window 2024-2042. Score – 93. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, Jan. 4, 2022)
