2020 Clos La Boheme
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.
Clos La Boheme comes from the smallest Cru Bourgeois du Médoc and is one of the very first in Organic Farming.
Bob's Review:
This is interesting because it is old classic Bordeaux in the old style. The nose is lovely with a little barnyard. The pallet is really beautiful. Is this the 2016? I like this a lot. WOW! Is elegant and complex. A sipper. A little spice and earth with the dark fruit. Even a hint of the barrel is there.
