Jeb Dunnuck (92)The second wine of Belair-Monange and 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Annonce De Belair-Monange ratchets up the purity and finesse, offering wonderful red cherry, currant, tobacco, cedar pencil, and floral aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and seamless on the palate, it's another impeccably made wine from this team that has loads of character. I'd happily drink bottles any time over the coming decade or more. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2020 Announce de Bélair-Monange is not a de facto Deuxième Vin, but rather a selection of barrels made in the winery. It has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis and faint black truffle shavings. The oak is neatly assimilated. The palate is very smooth, with layered dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and a touch of cumin. Gentle build with a caressing finish. Lovely. |

Jeb Dunnuck (90)I loved the 2015 Château Arnauld and it’s a seriously delicious, charming Cru Bourgeois that offers loads of cherry and blackberry fruit intermixed with spicy oak and scorched earth. With medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful balance and loads of fruit and texture, I suspect it’s a terrific value and should easily keep for 10-15 years. |

The Wine Independent (94+)Aromes de Pavie comes from new parcels purchased in 2017 (on top of the plateau). As from 2018, it is no longer a second wine, per se, as these are dedicated parcels for Aromes, giving it its own identity. The 2019 Aromes de Pavie is composed of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it strides out confidently with notes of baked black plums, blackberry preserves, and chocolate-covered cherries, leading to hints of pencil lead, cardamom, and rose oil. Full-bodied, voluptuous, and super-plush, the palate is chock full of juicy black fruits with a spicy undercurrent and plush tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift and lots of mineral sparks. This impressive wine should age very well. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)Coming all from limestone soils and equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 50% new French oak, the 2021 Aromes De Pavie sports a solid ruby/plum hue as well as a medium to full-bodied, deep, seamless profile in its riper, mostly red fruits, crushed stone, graphite, and floral-laced aromas and flavors. With beautifully integrated oak, ripe, velvety tannins, and a brilliant finish, this is a legit, serious, gorgeous wine. It's probably the best second wine in the vintage. Drink bottles over the coming 15 years. |

Wine Advocate (82)This medium ruby wine remains closed, but exhibits adequate ripeness of fruit. However, the hard tannins are cause for concern. The 1981 Ausone is a medium-weight wine, with good concentration, but I believe it will always be an austere, tough-textured, charmless wine. It still needs 10 years to soften and develop. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 1/90. |

Wine Advocate (80)The 1988 may need 20 years to reach its peak, as it is probably the most tannic, young Ausone I have ever tasted. The tannins are extremely hard, even astringent, but unlike a number of 1988s where the balance between tannins and fruit favors the tannin (always a troubling sign), here is a case where there is plenty of juicy red and black fruit extract in a medium-bodied, superbly concentrated, very intense and powerful wine. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2040. Last tasted, 4/93. |

Bordeaux's relatively diverse weather, particularly its rainfall, means that vintage variation can be quite broad between some years. However advances in wine making techniques, technology and investment has meant that many chateaux are still able to create very good wines in "lesser vintages". From the best vintages wines are made that are clambered for all over the world and mature excellently for many years.
This is a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Bordeaux over the last few decades, as well some more recent ones.
