OMG! I love this wine. The nose is beautiful and the palate is the perfect balance of fruit and terroir. This was the first wine of the trip I simply did not want to stop drinking — elegant, refined, and genuinely beautiful from start to finish. Drink now.

Description
Overview:
A Saint-Estèphe estate with a storied past — Château La Commanderie takes its name from the Commanderie des Templiers, an ancient building dedicated to the Knights Templar that once stood on the property. The estate has been in the Meffre family since 1957, who also own a property in the Pauillac appellation just to the south. Sixteen hectares of vines averaging 27 years of age grow in the classic Garonnaises gravels and clay soils that have made Saint-Estèphe one of the most celebrated names in all of Bordeaux. The 2019 is a traditional Saint-Estèphe blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged twelve months in French oak. Recognized among the finest Crus Bourgeois of the appellation, this is a wine that wears its history beautifully.
