Bordeaux is made famous by its big names. Places like Chateau Haut Brion, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite, Latour and Margaux. But combined, these historic classified properties represent less than 5% of the overall wine production in the region. That leaves thousands of wines and vineyards that benefit from the same vintage conditions and are sold at a fraction of the price. Such is the case for the 2020 Chateau Picadis Cuvee P Bordeaux Superieur. In a year that was anything but normal, the hot and dry vintage produced fantastic wines showing richness in fruit and warm and succulent flavors. Bordeaux Superieur, as the name suggests, promises to offer a superior version of Bordeaux AOC wines. This is promised by the higher quality standards to which viticulturists and vintners must adhere in order to have Supérieur on their wine label. All in, the 2020 Chateau Picadis Cuvee P is a fantastic value at $10.98 a bottle!
"Notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, dark chocolate and dried orange with some leafiness to it. Dusty and fine-grained texture, medium-bodied with bright acidity. Savory finish. Try from 2024." James Suckling, 92 Points
