Why Château du Raux?
A mature Haut-Médoc from the outstanding 2016 vintage, Château du Raux is classic claret at its most rewarding while being more than reasonably priced. From gravel soils just moments from Saint-Julien, it delivers all the hallmarks of the appellation: soft, mellow structure, cassis-rich fruit and that tell-tale cedar spice. Family-owned for over 150 years and consistently overdelivering on value, this is a Petit Château in name only so much so that Château Ducru-Beaucaillou snapped up part of the vineyard after tasting the 2016. Drinking beautifully now, with years still ahead, its exactly the kind of under-the-radar Bordeaux that savvy buyers seek out.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (0)
This is right in the sweet spot for drinking: at first, ripe blackcurrant and an appealing fruit coulis perfume on the nose with a swirl of the glass coaxing more mature and secondary aromas to emerge sweet, smoky spice and a note of cedar, perhaps. Classically claret, and quite Saint-Julien in style. On the palate, luscious texture, and fine balance. Pure, fresh cassis fruit, with nice richness and a sophisticated, polished feel to it. Nearly ten years of maturity gives this layers and layers of flavour. Some good winemaking at work here. Equal parts Cabernet and Merlot.
