2019 Chateau Bernard Magrez Saint-Estephe

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Château Bernard Magrez Saint-Estèphe is a bold and expressive Bordeaux red blend, rated around 90–91 points by critics and wine enthusiasts. It features a nose of blackberries, red currants, and cherries, complemented by hints of chocolate, pepper, cardamom, menthol, and a touch of warm tar. The palate is full-bodied with solid tannins, balanced acidity, and a rounded finish supported by chalky textures. While not overly intense, it’s praised for its elegance, freshness, and food-friendly character. The wine benefits from cellaring and reflects the structured style typical of Saint-Estèphe, with its gravelly and clay-rich soils contributing to depth and complexity
