2020 Lay & Wheeler Bordeaux by Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort
Made by the team at Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort, who are one of the Right Bank’s most respected winemaking families, and own estates including La Gaffelière and Puy-Blanquet. Predominantly Merlot, with a dash of Cabernet Franc, and made in an unoaked style, this is a fruit-forward, precise red Bordeaux. The 2020 is a particular success with real brightness and energy, supple tannin, and a lingering finish that makes this a brilliant claret for just about any occasion.
