Description
Château La Loubière Bordeaux Supérieur 2020 is a beautifully crafted 100% Merlot that showcases the unique terroir of the Entre-Deux-Mers. Located on the northern slopes of this prestigious region, the estate benefits from a deep understanding of its clay and sandy soils, allowing for optimal grape ripening. The wine is rich and generous, with a nose full of enticing aromas—fresh-cut pine, marzipan, chocolate chip cookies, and a touch of mint. On the palate, it is a complex layer cake of flavors, offering ripe red cherries, German chocolate cake, and a hint of spicy candy on the finish.
Under the guidance of Nicolas Géré, who led the biodynamic transition at Domaine Chave in the Rhône, Château La Loubière has evolved into one of our favorites, especially in blind tastings. The wine’s soft tannins, balanced acidity, and youthful energy make it a delightful drink now, but it also has the potential to develop further with a few years of cellaring. Whether enjoyed young or aged, Château La Loubière 2020 is a harmonious and engaging wine, reflecting both the region's heritage and the family's dedication to quality.
