Château du Raux, Haut-Médoc 2016
The more we taste of the 2016 vintage in the Médoc, the greater our belief that this is one of the truly great vintages of the last few decades. We’ve tasted a good number recently, so in a very strong field, it takes an exceptional wine to really catch one’s attention.
Château du Raux’s is one such a wine, which we sourced from good friends in Bordeaux earlier this year (I remember well their barely-concealed grins — they knew how good it was), and it absolutely blew our socks off!
But don’t just take our word for it, take it from the Bordelais royalty that is ‘super-second’ Château Ducru-Beaucaillou of Saint-Julien: shortly after this 2016 release, they were so impressed by the results and indeed the quality of Du Raux’s terroir (situated adjacent the appellation), they snapped up a parcel of the vineyard for themselves!
