This has ripeness and verve

bright and fresh

The oak is neatly integrated and it gradually builds to a very refined and satisfying finish

This really stands out for its detail and expression—it's as if the volume was turned up yet the definition preserved

while this tastes of grapefruit

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 1.5L Bugey Cerdon This has ripeness and verveIt is a marvellously compact and coiled up wine with a towering structure. Very beautifully fragrant dried purple flowers and herbs. Full bodied with loads of succulent ripe blackberry, creme de cassis, graphite, and loamy earth. Very firm, tight grained tannins form the base note of this wine, and the finish is long and rich in wild herbs and spices. Cellar worthy. It will release internationally in September 2024. It is rounded out with 6% Merlot.
