The distinction of a great vintage

THE VINTAGE

2020 is a year marked by a rainy spring followed by an exceptionally dry and cool summer that lasted until the harvest (not a drop of rain from June 19 to September 21). This climate was favorable for the development of small grapes concentrated in elegant tannins and with a crunchy fruit. Vinified and aged in all simplicity, the wine is dense, complex and elegant, and its aging potential is remarkable.

 

THE TASTING

The wine is well structured with a dense and velvety tannic structure, aromas of red fruits (wild strawberries, raspberries, blackberries), woody notes (licorice, cloves, cocoa beans) and minerality.

« Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Traditionnal style with elegant fruit, dark berries and black stone fruit, backed by mild spices, vanilla and fine toasting aroma. On the palate well structured with lush fruit, dark chocolate and mild spices, presenting a fresh finish with a very good length. » Markus Del Monego – The tasting book : 93/100

For a good tasting, we recommend decanting the wine or opening the bottle 4 hours before the meal, and serving it « chambré », i.e. between 18 and 19° C.

Château Taillefer 2020 will go well with our south-western specialities, a beautiful entrecote or a grilled duck breast. It can also be enjoyed with well-ripened or strong-tasting cheeses.
