Château Capbern 2020: A Critically Acclaimed Saint-Estèphe Gem

Experience the elegance of Bordeaux’s Left Bank with this 2020 vintage from Château Capbern, a distinguished Saint-Estèphe estate sharing heritage with the revered Calon Ségur. Crafted under director Vincent Millet’s expertise, this age-worthy red blend (69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot) emerges from gravelly clay soils to deliver exceptional depth and structure.

Why Wine Enthusiasts Choose This Vintage:
– Critics’ Darling: Earned 90-95 point scores for its balance and complexity (Jeb Dunnuck: 95 pts – “gorgeous cassis, seamless mouthfeel”).
– Sensory Journey: Aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, and dark chocolate unfold into layered flavors of cassis, iron, and pencil shavings.
– Superb Structure: Full-bodied with polished, fine-grained tannins (James Suckling: 93 pts – “velvety finish”) and vibrant acidity for graceful aging.
– Artisanal Craft: Aged 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels, achieving harmony between fruit intensity and oak integration.
