Château La Croix des Hugons 2015
Bordeaux AOC
Loading...
The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux produced wines with real charm – generous, velvety, ripe fruit with structure. That was thanks to great weather and, in this wine, the skill of winemaker Jean-Marc Lionnard. Appealing plum fruit, this is a moreish claret.

The Wine
With all the knowledge today in winemaking and viticulture, Bordeaux is making better wines than ever. Not all are made for decades of ageing – many, like this wine, are very appealing in their youth. This Gold medal claret is from a small property situated where the Dordogne meets the Garonne, in the Entre-Deux-Mers. The vines are a mature 30 years old, so yields are small and flavour nicely concentrated. Add to all those credentials the quality of the vintage – 2015 produced wines with lots of ripe fruit and gorgeous depth, yet with the firm backbone of tannins to lend support. Open early and pour into a jug, if there’s time, to let the flavours open out a little more, and then enjoy with roast meats. It’s great with pan-fried duck, too.

Lovely, ripe Merlot fruit in this appealing, fruit-forward vintage. Most charming and delicious
