We are frequently asked to recommend delicious, ready to drink Bordeaux at a reasonable price. Today's wine checks all those boxes and represents an amazing value. The 2020 Saintayme from Bordeaux star, Denis Durantou is a full-bodied wine packed full of perfectly ripened fruit that glides across the palate like pure silk.
We are not the only ones who enjoy this wine. James Suckling gave this wine a score of 94-95 Points, calling it "gorgeous," "impressive" and "one of the best I have had in a while." We couldn't have said it any better, this is one delicious wine!
How does all this great juice make it into the bottle for such a great price? First of all, this wine is from the famous right bank appellation of Saint Emilion, which is one of the greatest terroirs on earth. In fact, this Chateau is classified as Grand Cru and this is terroir where Merlot and Cabernet Franc show their greatest expression. Secondly, this wine was crafted by well-respected Denis Durantou of the famous Château L'Eglise Clinet. Finally, the warm 2020 vintage produced wines of richness, depth and seamless texture that make them so easy to like.
The same team that makes the wine of Durantou's flagship property in Pomerol, L'Eglise Clinet crafts the wine at this estate. You might also be familiar with Chateau Montlandrie, which is another of their popular wines and is one of the best-selling Bordeaux at Hi-Time. The terroir at Saintayme is comprised of primarily of limestone and clay and some gravel. The combination of soil, weather winemaking know-how resulted in a fantastic wine.
This is a deliciously satisfying, crowd-pleasing wine that would make an excellent case purchase. We are thrilled to offer the 2020 Saintayme at a great price. Grab it while you can!
JAMES SUCKLING 94-95 POINTS - "A gorgeous red with so much black fruit and salty, mineral character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy, polished tannins and a long finish. The precision and fine texture is impressive. One of the best I have had for a while."
