The 2019 La Chenade is a lovely Lalande-de-Pomerol from the Darantou family, bursting with aromas of plummy fruit, wild berries, rose petals, smoke and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with supple tannins, succulent acids and a nicely defined finish, this charming wine represents one of the great values of right bank Bordeaux.

The 2019 La Chenade is a racy, voluptuous wine that will thrill readers who admire the late Denis Durantou's wines. Plush and succulent in the glass, with terrific presence, the 2019 exudes class from start to finish. Spice, cedar, leather and tobacco accents meld into a core of red-fleshed fruit. Persistent and vibrant from start to finish, La Chenade is a winner.
