Flavor Profile
Some of the world’s finest red wines hail from France’s Bordeaux region, particularly the famous appellation of Saint-Émilion. We’re excited to present Château Franc Bigaroux 2020, a highly rated Saint-Émilion Grand Cru that offers incredible value for money.
What does that mean? The estate’s vineyards are situated among those of two iconic estates, Château Canon la Gaffelière (whose flagship red wine sells for $80+) and Château Pavie, a Premier Cru Classé A estate whose famed red wine goes for $350+. But you will pay far, far less for this exquisite Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.
Another big quality cue: Château Franc Bigaroux hails from the 2020 vintage, which is “the third of three very good years,” writes Margaret Rand for Wine-Searcher. She also writes that the wines “are concentrated, focused and refined” and notes “Merlot was very successful in 2020.”
A classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Château Franc Bigaroux arrives with 92 points from Master of Wine Markus Del Monego, along with 90-91 point score from critic James Suckling. You can read his tasting note below.
With ripe dark-fruit flavors and food-friendly elegance, this fine Saint-Émilion Grand Cru will definitely impress on your dinner table. Order your share today and pull it out for a special occasion.
