Ch. Philippe Jacques Co. 2020 Bordeaux Rouge Bordeaux AOP, France

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking When styling this wine, we set our sights on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. This blend leans on Merlot—accounting for 70 percent of the grapes in this bottle—for its signature plumminess and soft mouthfeel, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides a robust tannic backbone. We waited to blend until after fermentation, allowing each variety time with its skins to enhance its unique varietal expression before bringing everything together with oak for a wine that is a pinnacle of its revered style.

Vintage The 2020 growing season began with a medley of warm, temperate days and scattered storms. Timing was in our favor, as this wet spring weather proved vital, creating water reserves that kept our vines hydrated throughout a dry summer. Our Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards prospered with ample time on the vine and high temperatures, revealing their magnificent spectrum of rich fruit flavors.
