Sweet plums, flowers and fresh herbs on the nose, following through to a medium body with firm, chewy tannins and a savory finish. Give it time to soften. Better after 2023.

A tradition of grape growing at this estate goes back to the 14th century. This 2019 vintage is now gently textured and full of ripe, smoky fruits. With a balanced character, fruit and acidity bring freshness at the end. Drink the wine now.

The 2019 Blaignan is a savory, expressive red from a late-ripening site at the very north of Médoc. Dried herbs, flowers, black cherry, leather and pipe tobacco lend quite a bit of nuance. This is very nicely done.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Blaignan reveals a nose of warm black and red currants, black raspberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of bay leaves, tilled soil and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate has impressive freshness and bags of crunchy red and black fruits, textured by chewy tannins, finishing with an invigorating herbal lift.

Lots of cedar, spice, sappy herbs, and red and black fruits emerge from the medium-bodied 2019 Château Blaignan, which has a fresh, focused texture, light yet present tannins, and a good finish. It's a solid, enjoyable red to drink over the coming 4-6 years.
