Bordeaux 2020 was not only a great vintage but one that’s already showing beautifully in the wines I’ve tasted recently - in our Vintage Claret 2020 especially. Selected and blended for us by my good friend Jonathan Maltus (whose top wine Le Dôme regularly scores 100/100 from the critics), the Vintage Claret 2020 would undoubtedly be our house claret if only we could get enough of it. However, he only makes this wine in the very best years and from grapes sourced from Saint-Émilion and its neighbouring appellations.

Jonathan has just opened his new Le Dôme winery in Saint-Émilion designed by Norman Foster - a spectacular testament to his wine making skills that will be a forever Saint-Émilion landmark.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (1)

It has a wonderfully rich nose with aromas of soft red berry fruit. It's full bodied and very fresh, with good structure and soft tannins and everything in balance - merlot at its best in this great vintage. I recommend opening the bottle an hour or so before drinking to allow its full flavour to open up.

Vintage Claret - always fantastic and outstanding VFM.

"This classic Saint-Émilion from the English producer Jonathan Maltus has vibrant notes of blackcurrants and a dry finish."

Will Lyons, Sunday Times

"Sourced from Saint-Émilion and neighbouring appellations, this is made by Johnathan Maltus, perhaps best known for his super Right Bank 'garage wine', 'Le Dôme'. This Merlot-dominated blend has smooth, concentrated aroma of plums and blackcurrant, an elegant little hint of Sandalwood spice in the background. It's a big, caressing mouthful of luscious Merlot on the palate, with very sweet and soft tannins, but a little liquorice twist of bittersweetness from the acid, oak and tannin does give a pert, fresh finish too. With 14.5% alcohol it is ripe and full, a bit of a contrast to the Petite Sirène, but really rather delicious."

Tom Cannavan, WINE-PAGES.COM

"Made by Jonathan Maltus he of Le Dôme and Château Teyssier, and famously the first Englishman to get a perfect 100/100 score from Robert Parker its full of ripe, juicy, bramble fruit and boasts a wonderful softness thanks to its luscious Merlot-dominant fruit. "

Jonathan Ray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
