Château Duprat 2019

From the ravishing 2019 vintage, Château Duprat is full of lush, ripe velvety Merlot/Cabernet fruit

Bordeaux has been blessed in recent years with a run of terrific vintages. Neal Martin of Vinous recently called it <i>"an excellent vintage."</i> Antoni Galloni concurred, <i>"What stands out most about the finest 2019s is their exceptional balance."</i> Enjoy that here with this charming petit château Bordeaux from a small estate, close to the Garonne, in the south of the Entre Deux Mers. At 100 metres altitude and planted on sand, clay and silt soils, its vines – Merlot, Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon – thrive and have produced this most attractive claret. Already appealing, the wine is still young, so is best opened early and decanted. A fine, well structured, balanced red to serve with classic red meat dishes, a rich casserole or cheese.
