Château Capbern 2020
Saint-Estèphe AOC
Loading...
From the same team as renowned Calon Ségur, this is a glorious, fruit-laden claret. Jeb Dunnuck describes it as a “terrific Saint-Estèphe” and “pure, focused, age-worthy”. Ripe black fruits and savoury oak spice, from the terrific 2020 vintage.

The Wine
Formerly known as Capbern Gasqueton, this Cru Bourgeois Saint-Estèphe estate has been in the same family for 10 generations. It's the same family that owns 3ème Cru Classé Calon Ségur. It lies in one of the finest parts of the appellation, between Phelan Ségur and Meyney, and every aspect is given Grand Cru care. Hand picking of the 41 hectares of vines, with ageing in top-quality oak, all adds up to the exceptional quality. This vintage has gathered many top scores from wine critics such as Jeb Dunnuck and James Suckling, who called it "full-bodied with a deep character". Two thirds Cabernet with almost the same in new oak, it has “gorgeous cassis, violets, classy oak, with beautiful tannins” (Jeb Dunnuck). One to cellar for a few years.
