Chateau Bernard Magrez Saint-Estephe 2019
Chateau Bernard Magrez is produced by Bernard Magrez, a French wine magnate who owns many top Bordeaux Estates. These properties include, but are not limited to Chateau Pape Clement, Chateau La Tour Carnet and Chateau Fombrauge.
St Estephe is home to top wines such as Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose and Château Calon-Ségur. We really don’t see a lot of St Estephe wines in the market place as many of them really demand time in the bottle. They can be very tightly wound and are not approachable. They also can be very expensive.
We tasted this wine on Friday, and I couldn’t believe we were drinking a 2019 St Estephe that was not only drinking like a dream it was very reasonably priced. Bernard Magrez intentionally styled this wine to be very approachable. It was quite a pleasant surprise to not only find a wine that was ready to drink from this great appellation, we think its extremely well priced for what’s in the bottle.
94 Pts Decanter - First vintage that I have tasted from this estate, purchased in 2006 by Bernard Magrez and renamed from Château le Peyre. Vinified partly in oak barrel, partly in clay amphora, this is polished and finessed but actually more restrained than perhaps I was expecting. A serious wine, with an emphasis on tightly-knitted cassis fruits. An absolutely beautiful whoosh of juicy menthol comes in from mid palate onwards, and a tight tannic crush on the finish that suggests this is going to age well. It's big shouldered, as all Magrez wines are, but this is a welcome addition to the St Estèphe landscape.
The 2019 Bernard Magrez was impressive from barrel. Since it was bottled in June 2021, the nose has revealed more red fruit, though it’s still quite loamy and maybe a tad more plush than before. The palate is medium-bodied and very pure, with pliant tannins, well-judged acidity and a nicely detailed, silky-smooth finish that lingers. This is about as sensual a Saint-Estèphe wine as you will find in this vintage
