Château Haut Bois Neuf 2019
Bordeaux AOC
From an excellent vintage, this is a fine, classic claret. So good, in fact, it's already scooped two Gold medals. It's from a third-generation estate that is now converting to organic. Mostly Merlot, it's velvety and elegant with ripe black fruit.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Bordeaux was blessed in 2019. "The vintage is looking very good" said Jancis Robinson MW, "harmony, balance and freshness are definitely the hallmarks of 2019" declared James Suckling. This is a very appealing claret from a third-generation estate that also impressed the judges, taking two Golds. It's situated in Auriolles, in the Entre-Deux-Mers and since the current generation, David Mauro, took over, he has started to convert the vineyards to organic. The aim is to improve the health of the land and create a wine with even more richness and depth. The vines on the property are on average 45 years old, producing a moderate amount of concentrated grapes. Mostly Merlot with a little Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an appealing, supple claret.
"Smooth, appealing claret from this excellent vintage"
