The Wine
Formerly known as Capbern Gasqueton, this Cru Bourgeois Saint-Estèphe estate has been in the same family for 10 generations. It's the same family that owns 3ème Cru Classé Calon-Ségur. It lies in one of the finest parts of the appellation, between Châteaux Phelan Ségur and Meyney, and every aspect is given Grand Cru care. Hand picking of the 41 hectares of vines, with ageing in top-quality oak, all adds up to the exceptional quality. Not as voluptuous and bold as the 2020, this 2021 vintage is classic and linear, with firm tannins that will soften with airing and with age. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon with a high proportion in new oak, it will take time to open and will reward patience. Decant at least a couple of hours before serving.
