Chateau Leroy-Beauval Bordeaux Superieur 2018

We tasted this back in January…deeply layered, structured, and gorgeously polished red simply crushes the competition at just about anything in the $40 range for Bordeaux, much less our incredible price of just $22.95. Buy as much of this 92 point stunner as you can, and you’ll still wish you bought a few more one day!

Spice, elegance, silk, beautiful textures...it’s just a few of the words the critics heap on this lovely wine. We love it for its forward personality and depth of flavor, something we rarely encounter at this price level, and we taste container loads of stuff like this every year! Leroy-Beauval is in the Entre-de-Mer region of Bordeaux and dates back to 1780, but since roughly 2012, it has been on a huge qualitative roll and is one of those savvy buys for anyone who drinks a lot of Bordeaux or Bordeaux blends (like us!).

While this will definitely improve over the next decade, it's pretty irresistible now, for sure. So polished! Loads of black raspberry, dark plums, refined texture, and toasty spices, with the “correct” Bordeaux notes of sweet tobacco and cigar box, and pencil shavings too. Damn delicious if we do say so ourselves. Wildly well-priced...time to stock up while we have it!
