The 2019 Clos de la Cure, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru was a Merchant's Pick
Cheval Blanc Neighbor Is A SLEEPER In The Prized 2019 Vintage!
August 08, 2024
The 2019 Bordeaux vintage is one for the books - a perfect combination of ripe fruit and structure.
Chateau Clos de la Cure is a sleeper from this highly acclaimed vintage and one of the best values in the region.
Here's a lesser-known fact about Clos de la Cure: the vineyards share the same ridge line as nearby Cheval Blanc!
The nearly identical terroirs boast gravel, clay, and iron-rich deposits atop limestone bedrock, all of which help frame this gorgeous red.
There's a lot going on in this sassy Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Tons of blackberry and currant aromas with a floral and fresh basil undertone. Full-bodied, chewy, and layered with gorgeous fruits and intensity. The vintage highlights really come through in the structure and finesse combination.
With insatiable global demand for great value Bordeaux, this sub $50 beauty rivals most at 2x the price.
Not much Clos de la Cure is imported; in fact, the wine is only represented in four markets in the United States.
The quality in the vintage is undeniable, "perhaps the best I have ever tasted at this stage." Jancis Robinson
Order your Clos de la Cure and experience one of the best vintages ever!
Enjoy!
