Château de Braude (owner and operated by Château Mongravey) has created a truly impeccable wine here. Rich and fruity, dark and dense, it’s a juicy drop that’s “firmly tannic with both wood and fruit,” according to Wine Enthusiast's rave review. Blackberry and plum form the core of this wine, which is classic and typical in all the right ways. It doesn't stop playing all the Bordeaux hits there, either; cedar, tomato leaf, rich wet earth, tobacco - this is a certifiable regional masterclass. Epic wine with the right (and, for Bordeaux of this style, borderline necessary) amount of age.
