Described by Jeb Dunnuck as “packed to the gills with classic, elegant, and concentrated wines that readers will love to have in their cellar,” critics across the board agree 2019 Bordeaux is a vintage worthy of stocking up, these 2019 selections offering a range of styles and prices certain to appeal to Bordeaux lovers seeking unbeatable value, some ready to enjoy now and some built for stashing away to savor over the next few decades.

Describing 2019 as producing “phenomenal wines in every appellation,” Antonio Galloni of Vinous calls the 93 pt. 2019 Chateau Lanessan “a striking Haut-Medoc with a bright future” while the 92 pt. 2019 Chateau Senejac boasts “unreal complexity with tons of energy” and the “fabulous” 93 pt. 2019 Chateau Les Grands Chenes “packs a serious punch,” crafted under the direction of Chateau Pape Clement’s legendary Bernard Magrez to enjoy over the next few decades. Full of wines that are “remarkably bright and refreshing,” the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown describes the 2019’s as “wines with gravitas, weight, and jaw-dropping intensity,” calling the impressive 93 pt. 2019 Chateau du Glana from St. Julien “seductive” and describing the opulent 94 pt. 2019 Ormes de Pez from St. Estephe as “elegant and refreshing,” crafted by the team of Lynch Bages to evolve over the next few decades. From “unquestionably a great vintage for Bordeaux” according to Jeb Dunnuck with “a huge swath of beautiful wines,” the 92 pt. 2019 Madame de Beaucaillou offers “plenty of fruit, texture, and pleasure” according to Dunnuck, while the 93 pt. 2019 Belle-Vue is “rock star stuff readers should snatch up,” summing it up as “a gorgeous bottle of wine that will keep for over a decade.” From a dry hot year producing “rich and lush wines,” Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson describes the 96 pt. 2019 Chateau LaTour Martillac Rouge as boasting “beautiful depth” and “real complexity,” while the 94 pt. 2019 Chateau Chauvin from St. Emilion is “well balanced, with rich seams of dark blackberry and bilberry fruits” and the 96 pt. 2019 Chateau Lagrange is “richly textured and intense” and easily one of the estate’s best vintages. According to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, the 2019’s offer “striking aromatic range with notable intensity and persistence of flavor,” describing the 97 pt. 2019 Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere as “full-bodied, ample and layered,” while the “hedonistic” 99 pt. 2019 Chateau Valandraud 99 pt. is “impressively vibrant and charming” with a “lavish core of fruit framed by ripe, polished tannins,” both promising to perform well over the next 20 years.

Describing the 2019 vintage as producing “powerful wines” showcasing Bordeaux’s diverse terroirs, the Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth sums up the 2019 reds as offering “ripe, lush and velvety-textured fruit” with both the Left and Right Banks delivering outstanding value, these top rated selections showing 2019’s hallmark “harmony, balance and freshness” according to James Suckling and delivering the winning combination of approachability and longevity at an unbeatable price.

Really floral and pretty with currants, cherries and some violets and stones. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture. Attractive tannins and stony undertones. A large percentage of merlot with the cabernet, making it fresh and firm. Sophisticated. Better after 2024.

Coming from the Haut- Médoc and bottled in May, the 2019 Madame De Beaucaillou reveals a deep ruby/purple as well as a great nose of red and black cherries, leafy herbs, damp earth, and flowers. Medium-bodied, mouth-filling, and balanced, it has the vintage's purity and focus front and center yet still brings plenty of fruit, texture, and pleasure. Drink this beauty over the coming 4-6 years.

A little austerity to the tannins on the opening, followed by a real kick of dark chocolate and tight rosemary spice, touches of orange rind adding freshness and focus to ripe blueberry and cassis fruits. Good quality, delivers plenty of Haut-Médoc signature, and easy to recommend. First year of bottling everything that isn't the Borie St Julien vines into this wine, meaning that it represents 55ha across Moulis, Listrac and Haut-Medoc (from vines in Cussac), vinified at the former Fourcas Borie. 20% new oak.
