2010 Château Le Doyenne, 1er Côtes de Bordeaux, EPx12bt 12 bottles per case
The phenomenal value of this junior Right Bank estate caught our eye in 2000 and again in 2009. Marie-Dominique Watrin has produced a wine of great elegance and smoothness, with ripe, red and plumy fruits and beautifully poised acidity. Planted to 70% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. 40% is now spending 12 months in new oak, and the balance in 1 and 2 year-old oak, which will enhance the fruit, and soften the signature tannins of 2010. Drinking from 2015 – 2020.
