2020-Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux-Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2024-1* (vin très réussi)

"This pure Merlot, aged for a year in barrel, is suave, deep and well-balanced on the palate, with good ripe fruit and a fine tannic presence. Comfortable, full-bodied and buoyed by a complete vintage, this wine is a very fine achievement."
