Description Not many wines can boast 23 top Gold medals in six years, but that’s the triumphant haul for this claret, 2015 to 2020, plus four more in 2022. It’s from a small estate in Saint-Germain du Puch, between Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion. The estate grows Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet on clay and limestone soils typical of the greater Saint-Emilion region. Owners Agnès and Alexandre Sueur and winemaker Gregory Dalla Longa make wines that reflect this special terroir and the unique character of each vintage. And Bordeaux 2022, with its hot summer, was certainly high quality. Decanter wrote, “2022 has produced some genuinely unbelievable wines that are worthy of hyperbole”. Open and decant at least an hour prior to serving it with roast lamb or duck.
