The 2020 Domaine de l’A, a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, is a standout example of what this estate can produce and will appeal to all serious aficionados of fine Bordeaux. The bouquet is slightly oaky and fresh, exhibiting elegant aromas of spices, violet, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced, this wine is fleshy and round with sweet tannins and has a long, penetrating and saline finish very influenced by its origin from calcareous soil. It will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2020 Domaine de L’A is impressive. Rich and ample, but still recovering from its bottling, the 2020 is packed with intensity. Dark red cherry, red plum, mocha, spice, licorice, menthol and mocha are all packed into its deceptively mid-weight frame. Cabernet Franc accents lift the finish nicely. Domaine de l’A is a wine that only blossoms with a few years in bottle. I expert that will be the case here as well.

Up with the finest vintages of this cuvée to date, the 2020 Domaine De L’A checks in as 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from the western edge of the Castillon region. Aged in 70% new French oak, it has a brilliant perfume of crème de cassis, chalky minerality, spring flowers, and leafy tobacco. This deep purple-hued, medium to full-bodied, concentrated Castillon has building tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a gorgeous finish. It will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 10-15 years.

Bouquet agréable, invitant révélant des nuances de bois de réglisse, de cannelle et de baies noires. Caractère suave et élégant en bouche. Le vin a de l’ampleur, des tannins soyeux et puissants ainsi qu’une structure acide rafraîchissante, soutenant l’expression aromatique de la finale ainsi que sa persistance. Un vin qui sait parfaitement allier charme, authenticité et puissance. 2027-2045

Aromas of plums and blackcurrants with dark chocolate, vanilla and bark. Some earthy undertones, too. Firm and textured with a plush mouth-feel, full body and chewy, powdery tannins. Deep and dark-fruited with a meaty structure and velvety finish. Try after 2025.
