2020 Chateau Beau Rivage
Overview:
Christine is another one of the people I count as a good friend in Bordeaux. I met her at Vinexpo and immediately loved her wines. I visited her chateau near Margaux and discovered that her family owns and produces some of the most sought after barrels in all of the wine business. Her brothers mostly ran the barrel making business and Christine made wine – and wow can she make great wine! We have included several of her wines in the club over the years and I have enjoyed getting to know her over the years.
Bob's Review:
Not impressed by the nose but I really like the pallet. Good barnyard and rough mouth feel. I really like this.
