2020 Château Anthonic, Moulis-En-Médoc, Bordeaux

Description

Moulis-en-Médoc is home to several charming family-owned properties, Château Anthonic among them. Owners Jean-Baptiste and Nathalie Cordonnier are proponents of agroforestry, planting trees among their vines to encourage biodiversity. The 2020 vintage is their second with organic certification. This Merlot-dominant wine offers aromas of fresh plums, blackberries and dark chocolate, along with a nice spicy edge. It is medium-bodied and refreshing, though there is a good tannic structure; it should develop nicely in the coming years. Enjoy it with a juicy burger or barbecued dishes.

About this wine

Merlot

The most widely planted grape in Bordeaux and a grape that has been on a relentless expansion drive throughout the world in the last decade. Merlot is adaptable to most soils and is relatively simple to cultivate. It is a vigorous naturally high yielding grape that requires savage pruning - over-cropped Merlot-based wines are dilute and bland. It is also vital to pick at optimum ripeness as Merlot can quickly lose its varietal characteristics if harvested overripe.
