A medium-bodied red with plum and berry. Soft and refined with nice, ripe and creamy tannins. Very polished. (James Suckling)
JD91+91–93 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 6/4/2021
Always a smoking wine (as well as a hard to beat value), the 2020 Château Cap De Faugères boasts a deep purple hue as well as lots of cassis and blueberry fruits interwoven with notes of violets, white flowers, and chocolatey oak. Drink this medium to full-bodied, plush, sexy, fruit-loaded rock star of a Castillon over the coming decade. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Where It's From

Region / Bordeaux

View more wines from Bordeaux

Bordeaux is known the world over for its exceptional wines, particularly red blends made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, among others. These Cabernets aren't typically the full-bodied Cabs you get from California, but rather medium-bodied wines that emanate elegance and sophistication.

You'll also find some refreshing Bordeaux whites and, of course, Bordeaux's famous dessert wine, Sauternes.

Country / France

View more wines from France

The French did not invent winemaking. They simply perfected it. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder; wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more.

Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy.

JD100100 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/29/2023
I finished my trip through Bordeaux with the 2020 Château Haut-Brion, and it was certainly a fitting cap to the trip. Revealing a deep ruby/plum hue, the 2020 exhibits extraordinary aromatics of ripe black fruits, scorched earth, cold fireplace, and acacia flowers. An absolute blockbuster on the palate, this structured, full-bodied, massively concentrated Pessac builds incrementally, with ultra-fine tannins, a deep, layered mid-palate, and a great, great finish. Richer and more concentrated than both the 2018 and 2019 (there are some similarities to 2010), this is a legend in the making. The blend is 42.8% Merlot, 39.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc, all of which will spend 15–18 months in 77% new French oak. Hide bottles for a decade, and it should evolve for 50–75 years. (Jeb Dunnuck)

This is a superb Haut-Brion with incredible tannins that are wonderfully fine-grained. It’s really powerful. This is very primary with so much grape-generated tannin structure. Very, very long, going on for minutes. Seductive and friendly at the start and then takes you on at the finish with so much structure. Wine of the vintage? (James Suckling)
RP9999 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 6th Apr 2023
The 2020 Haut-Brion is more aromatically demonstrative than La Mission Haut-Brion, bursting with aromas of blackberries and raspberries mingled with licorice, cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and nicely integrated new oak. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s rich and layered, with an enveloping core of fruit that’s girdled by plenty of sweet, powdery tannin. Despite checking in at a similarly lofty alcoholic degree to the 2019, its more granular tannic profile tempers the vintage’s sweetness of fruit and lends the wine a more classically proportioned, and more classically structured, profile. (William Kelley)

The 2020 Haut-Brion has a smorgasbord of red and black fruit on the nose, Indian ink and pressed violets, touches of undergrowth (morels?) emerging with time in the glass. There is just a note of reduction here. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh and saline, with hints of black olive and white pepper. A lingering, very controlled, black pepper tinged finish is very harmonious and understated—remarkable given the 15% alcohol, slightly higher than La Mission. Excellent… but I am not convinced that would put it in the top tier of this First Growth… at least, not yet. (Neal Martin)

Notes of toasted spices, nut shell and bark with a deep dark berry backbone to it. Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins, that are ripe and velvety. Structured and broad with a lingering dark-fruited finish. Try from 2025. (James Suckling)
JD9090 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/29/2023
Always impeccably made, the 2020 Le Lion De La Fleur De Boüard (which is the entry level wine) offers a beautifully pure perfume of red and blue fruits as well as leafy tobacco, leather, and chocolate. It’s balanced, medium-bodied, has ripe, silky tannins, and great finish. It’s well worth seeking out and a beautiful Right Bank that will keep for 7–8 years with no issues. (Jeb Dunnuck)
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Jun 2021
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Le Lion storms out of the glass with bold notes of baked black plums, blackberry pie and boysenberries, plus suggestions of dried Provence herbs, pencil shavings and unsmoked cigars. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers taut, muscular black fruits with a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2023
The 2020 Le Lion La Fleur de Boüard is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Dark cherry, dried herbs, mocha, dried herbs and crushed flowers open nicely in this attractive, soft Lalande-de-Pomerol. The 50% Cabernet Franc adds a light vegetal character that is not too intrusive but that is present. (Antonio Galloni)

VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2023
The 2020 Pierre 1er is a very pretty, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Ripe red-toned fruit, mocha, spice and rose petal are nicely amplified. Supple and forward, but not at all heavy, the Pierre 1er is an attractive, forward Saint-Émilion that will drink well right out of the gate. (Antonio Galloni)
RP90+90–92 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th May 2021
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pierre 1er comes barreling out of the glass with bold scents of baked blackberries, stewed black plums and mince pie, plus hints of menthol, black olives and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by finely grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and layered. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

Chateau Soutard-Cadet 2020 / 750 ml.

2020 / 750 ml.

Item #: 61738

JD9595 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/29/2023
The 2020 Château Soutard-Cadet comes from slightly more clay soils as well as older vines. The blend is 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot raised in 70% new barrels. A gorgeous wine, its deep purple hue is followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure, seamless Saint-Emilion with lots of darker cherry and plum fruits, nicely integrated background oak, ultra-fine tannins, and complex notes of smoked tobacco, graphite, and an almost Pomerol-like damp earth character. It will keep for 20–25 years. (Jeb Dunnuck)
VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2023
The 2020 Soutard-Cadet is packed with super-ripe dark fruit, espresso, chocolate and sweet oak. This full-throttle, dense Saint-Émilion is not at all subtle, but it sure is gorgeous. This needs a few years to soften, as the tannins are pretty imposing at this stage. Tasted two times. (Antonio Galloni)
JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Sunday, May 14, 2023
This is dark-fruited with notes of spice, dark chocolate, mocha, cedar and wet earth. It’s medium- to full-bodied with chocolaty texture and firm yet polished tannins. Structured and refined. Attractive and velvety with a creamy finish. Try after 2026. (James Suckling)
RP93+93–95 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th May 2021
The 2020 Soutard-Cadet is a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and (for the first time) 5% Petit Verdot. It is aging for approximately 16 months in French oak barrels, 70% new. The alcohol is 15%. Opaque purple-black colored, it charges out of the gate with powerful notes of blackberry preserves, blueberry pie and prunes, plus hints of fruitcake, Indian spices and garrigue, with a waft of licorice. The rich, concentrated, full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruits and exotic spices, supported by a rock-solid foundation of firm, ripe, rounded tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long with emerging earthy nuances.

The 2020 Château Monbousquet is lights-out good, offering a full-bodied, concentrated, opulent profile as well as notes of ripe black cherries, cassis, chocolate, and leafy herbs. With terrific purity, velvety tannins, and incredible richness as well as a remarkable sense of freshness, it’s going to evolve for 15+ years in cold cellars. (Jeb Dunnuck)
JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Sunday, May 14, 2023
Very tight and linear with blackberries, chocolate and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied. Linear. Racy and pretty. Drinkable but better in three or four years. (James Suckling)
RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th May 2021
The 2020 Monbousquet is a blend of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, coming in with an alcohol of 14.69% and a pH of 3.75. It is aging in French oak barriques, 50% new. With a deep purple-black color, it prances out of the glass with showy scents of crushed black plums, mulberries and Morello cherries, plus touches of dried Provence herbs, charcoal and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers expressive black and red berry layers, framed by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a fragrant earth note. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - May 2021
The 2020 Monbousquet was cropped at 30hl/ha and underwent a five-week cuvaison and maturation in 50% new oak. Deep in color, it has an intense nose of multilayered black plum, loganberry, wild hedgerow and crushed violet scents. The new oak imparts a vanilla-y veneer, but that should be assimilated by the time this is bottled. The palate is medium-bodied with gritty tannins, quite a structured Monbousquet, the 15% Cabernet Sauvignon contributing graphite notes toward the fresh, seaweed-tinged, slightly bitter finish, which has a powdery texture. This is an intriguing Monbousquet made in a more classical style compared to recent vintages. (Neal Martin)
