Brand: Chateau La Commanderie
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Vintage: 2020
Rating: 92
The vines of La Commanderie sit on gravel terraces, where pebbly soils mix with iron-rich sand to produce wines of a very special and refined complexity. This is a superb right bank value, with both structure and finesse. It is medium-to-full-bodied and packed with black and blue fruits, violet and clove.
"Rock-solid aromatics of red and black fruits, spice, flowers, and subtle background oak all emerge from the 2020 Château La Commanderie, a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant Saint-Emilion that has ripe tannins and a great finish. A complete, incredibly satisfying, impressive 2020 to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years, it's easily the finest wine I've tasted from this château." (Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points)
