2020 Château Puyblanquet, St Emilion, Bordeaux

The 2020 vintage is the first under the Malet Roquefort family of La Gaffelière since repurchasing the property. The 19-hectare vineyard sits on a ridge of limestone and clay on the eastern side of the appellation. Vivid red fruits, violet and a touch of sweet spice make for a wonderfully fragrant nose. The palate is vibrant, concentrated and well-textured, with a racy acidity thanks to the limestone soils—certainly one of the best value wines of St Émilion.
